The scheduler is one of the main tools of the report server, using which you can plan specific actions at a particular time. To do this, you need to create a scheduler and specify the time and actions that you must perform. For example, at the beginning of each hour (at a specific minute), the report will be rendered, exported to PDF format and sent via email to particular persons. The picture below shows a window to create a new scheduler:

Monthly. This type of scheduler provides the ability to create a schedule at a certain time during the month. Moreover, it is possible to select the months; schedule will only work on certain months.

Yearly. In this case, you can set the time (hours and minutes), a month and a day when the scheduler runs.
