Who is this article for?

Noise analysts who need reports generated automatically on a schedule.

Access to the ANOMS Noise Analyst Workbench is required. Scheduling must be enabled for the report in the ANOMS Configurator.

ANOMS can run reports automatically on a schedule and publish each run to a Report Topic, so authorised users always see the latest version.

Before you begin

The Report can be scheduled field in the Configurator must be selected before a report is available for scheduling. Contact your ANOMS system administrator if a report does not appear.

You can schedule reports from the Reports Wizard or from the Report Schedule Manager. Linking the schedule's Report Topic to a Report Task on the Task Bar gives users one-click access to the latest run.
