Step 2: Specify Report Definition Attributes for Report 1

  1. On the Report Definition Attributes panel, enter REGION 01 SALES in the Desc field.

    Any lowercase characters you enter are automatically converted to uppercase.

  2. Enter 1 in the ARCH field to specify that the report is to be archived.
  3. Enter 22:00 in the LATE field to specify the late time.

    The late time of 22:00 p.m. does not ensure that this report is queued by 22:00 p.m. If the report is queued after 22:00 p.m., the report is flagged on the Active Report List panel.
