schedular- i need a step by step guide to use schedular and how to use design better.
I have a report that is not quite completed which takes about 45 mins to run. I am ironing out the errors in the report but every time i make a change ,the report runs and i have to wait long time before I can make changes.What is the correct way to make changes? I could go in design mode, but again i need to refresh when i have made changes. I want to be solve the problems in my report task by task without having to keep running report to see if i have fixed something.
Also because the report takes so long to run, can i set it up in schedular to run automatcially in the morning ,so when i come into work the report is run?
I find jet ok but get a bit frustrated that there are not many instructions how to use it

Jet Reports Historic Posts You did read the manual I may presume? If you still find that this does not fit your amount of instruction I would recommend following a training session.
The CORRECT way to make changes to structure is in design, and only for style changes I would make changes in report mode but would not recommend it in this way.
You can turn-off automatic Excel calculation in the options if you are "designing" in report mode, to prevent the whole sheet to start recalculating after every change. -
Jet Reports Historic Posts Here are some useful links:
- support.jetreports.com for documentation (manual, knowledge base)
- community.jetreports.com for great examples in the download section
- http://www.jetreports.com/resource-center/resource-library-videos.php for some educating videos (a.o. about the Jet Scheduler)
- jetexpress.jetreports.com for videos about Jet Express functions that may be applied in Jet Essentials too
And of course Sebastiaan is right that attending a training course is always a great start :)
