Scheduled Report
Scheduled Reports allow you to automatically generate reports in TARGPatrol and send them to selected recipients by email. This is useful when managers, supervisors, or head office teams need regular reports without manually building and exporting them every time.
You can schedule reports such as task reports, user timesheets, point reports, location reports, issue reports, and other available report types.
How to open Scheduled Reports
To configure Scheduled Reports, you need to have Owner or Administrator permissions in your TARGPatrol organization.
Open the TARGPatrol Web App.
In the top menu, go to Reports.
Select Scheduled Reports.
Here you will see the list of existing scheduled reports.
Creating a scheduled report
After clicking Add scheduled report, the Scheduled Report form will open.
Scheduled report details
Fill in the main report settings:
Name Enter a clear name for the scheduled report. For example:

Report settings
In the Report settings section, select the reporting period and apply filters if needed.
Period Choose the period for the report, for example:
Day
Week
Month
The report is generated for the previous selected period relative to the scheduled run date and time.
For example, if you schedule a daily report at 08:00 and select Day, the report will be generated for the previous day.
If you select Week, the report will be generated for the previous week.
Available filters
Depending on the selected report type, you can apply filters such as:
State Filter reports by task or record state.
Priority Filter by priority.
Status Filter by status.
Locations Select specific locations or branches.
Users Select specific users or employees.
Points Select specific QR, NFC, GPS, or Virtual Points.
Tags Filter data by tags.
Filters are optional. If no filters are selected, the report will include all available data based on the selected report type and period.
Schedule
In the Schedule section, configure when the report should be generated.
You can select the schedule type, for example Daily, and then choose the exact time.
For example:
Daily at 08:00
The system will also show the generated cron expression, for example:
10 0 8 * * *This helps confirm when the report will run automatically.
Recipients
In the Recipients section, select who should receive the report.
You can add recipients in two ways:
Users Select existing TARGPatrol users from your organization.
Add email Manually add an email address.
At least one recipient is required before the scheduled report can be saved.
Save the scheduled report
After all required fields are completed, click Save.
The report will appear in the Scheduled Reports list.
From this list, you can:
View the report status

Example: Daily User Timesheet
A common setup is a daily timesheet report.
Example configuration:
Name: Daily User Timesheet
Report type: User Timesheet
Export format: Excel
Period: Day
Schedule: Daily at 08:00
Recipients: Manager or supervisor email
With this setup, TARGPatrol will automatically generate the previous day’s user timesheet and send it by email every morning.
Notes
Scheduled Reports are useful for regular management reporting, payroll preparation, compliance checks, cleaning reports, guard patrol summaries, and performance reviews.
Reports are generated automatically based on the selected timezone, period, filters, and schedule. Make sure the timezone is correct before saving the scheduled report.
