Report Scheduler - Automation

What is Report Scheduler in Zoho People?

The purpose of the Report Scheduler is to automatically send reports to designated recipients on a regular basis via email. Using a scheduler reduces the time and manual effort required when sending reports each month or week. Each module, such as Leave, Attendance, Timesheet, and Performance, has its own set of reports available under the Reports tab. Additionally, Analytics allows you to create customized reports tailored to your organization's needs. You can generate these custom reports using Analytics and leverage the Report Scheduler to send them directly to the intended recipients.
