With your reports organized and running, the next step is making them work automatically. This guide covers how to create jobs, schedule reports for recurring delivery, and set up bursting to send each recipient only the data relevant to them.

Automate and Manage

One of the most powerful aspects of Intelligence is the ability to automate report delivery, so reports come to you or others on a regular basis without any manual effort. Here is a phrase worth remembering: set it and forget it. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to automate and manage your reports in Intelligence.

How to Create a Job

A Job in Intelligence lets you group multiple reports together and run them all at once. This is especially useful when you have a set of reports that must always be run together.


Scheduling and Bursting

Scheduling and bursting allow you to automate report delivery, so reports reach the right people at the right time, without any manual effort on your part.

Think of it like a pizza delivery. Do you want the whole pizza delivered, or do you want it cut into pieces before it arrives?

  • Scheduling takes one report and delivers it in full to one or more recipients on a recurring basis.
  • Bursting takes that scheduled report and divides it into pieces, delivering each recipient only the slice of data that is relevant to them.

How to Schedule a Report with Bursting

Note: Only Cognos Professional Author and Business Author roles can schedule reports. Bursting requires Professional Author permission. If you need to update your reporting role, refer to the Intelligence: Settings guide.


Check Scheduled Reports

Once your reports are scheduled, it is important to check on them regularly to confirm they are running successfully. This video shows you how to check the status of your scheduled reports and troubleshoot if something did not go as expected.
