The items on the 'Jobs' menu allow you to create and edit queues with jobs (such as reports, updates, exports, and imports) that you would like to run together at a later time. The advantage of using job lists is that you can save and re-use the filter selections for reports, updates, and other jobs. This allows you to run the same reports the same way daily, weekly, monthly, etc. For example, if you run the same reports at the end of each week, you can create a job list (you might call it "Week's end") and schedule those reports, using a date range of "Current week," to run as part of that list. Then, at the end of each week, run the "Week's end" job list to create the scheduled reports with data from the Sunday through Saturday of the current week. Click here for more details on job lists.
