Running reports every 4 hours from CE9

[bessebo]

I want to schedule a report to run at 8:00AM, 12:00Noon, 4:00PM, and 8:00PM every weekday. It doesn't look like I can easily do this with the scheduling options within Crystal Enterprise without creating 4 separate recurring jobs. Anything I am missing?

Regards,
Bob

Unfortunately, I don't have access to my CE9 environment right now, but in CE8.5 there is an option under Daily Schedule for "Every X Hour(s), N Minute(s)".

In your case, you'd just schedule the report to run Daily where X = 4 Hours, beginning at 08:00AM. Keep in mind, you're also going to get a report at Midnight and 04:00AM, since the report is scheduled for every four hours. If you don't want these extra reports then you'll need to set up multiple schedules.
