When scheduling reports to be delivered, you are able to select a Frequency for the report to be generated and distributed via email. This article discusses the Frequency options and when they deliver Scheduled Reports after configuration.

The options present for Frequency are as follows:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Semi-Monthly
- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Semi-Annually
- Annually
Each Frequency, when selected, causes the Scheduled Report to deliver at a different time. The following table indicates when each Frequency will begin generating a report for email distribution:
| Frequency |

Hi -
In addition to the above. I see we can select Daily as option. If we schedule it for daily when does the report be delivered.
Thanks!
