Weekly schedule

A weekly schedule runs the report on selected days of the week at a set time. Well suited for weekly reporting and planning.

How it works

  • The run happens on the selected days of the week at the specified time
  • You can select one or several days (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun)
  • Example: Mon + Thu at 09:00 — runs twice a week

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the schedule settings

In the builder or on the report page, go to the Schedule section.

2. Choose the frequency

Select Weekly from the dropdown.

3. Choose the days of the week

Check the boxes for the days you need:

  • Monday — typical for weekly reports (data for the past week)
  • Mon + Wed + Fri — three times a week for operational monitoring
  • Mon-Fri — every business day
  • All 7 days — equivalent to a daily schedule

4. Set the run time

Set a time in HH:MM format. Recommendations: for weekly reports (Monday) — 08:00-10:00, since last week's data is guaranteed to be ready. For midweek runs (Wednesday, Friday) — similar to daily, 08:00-10:00.

5. Configure the timezone

Set the timezone. This is especially important for distributed teams: Monday in UTC+3 arrives earlier than in UTC-8.

6. Configure missed-run behavior

Standard options: skip or catch up.

7. Enable and save

Turn on the toggle and click Save.

Specifics

  • Frequency: 1 to 7 runs per week
  • Run time: the same for all selected days
  • Recommended write mode: Replace (full snapshot for the week), Append (weekly snapshots)
  • Recommended date range: last_7d for weekly overviews, yesterday for operational reports
