A few points on the report and dashboard schedule

The following are some noteworthy points about the report and dashboard schedule:

• If the running user becomes inactive, the report is not run. The systemadministrator will get an e-mail notification to either activate the user or delete the report scheduled, or change the running user to an active one inthe scheduled report.

• The limit for scheduled reports per organization is one or two based on editions.

• An organization is limited to 200 scheduled reports and dashboards.

• Daily limits differ by edition. You can purchase additional schedule reports or dashboards.

• A joined report can't be scheduled for future runs.

• Scheduled reports run in the time zone of the user who set up the report schedule. Let's take an example. If the Time Zone field on your user record is set to Indian Standard Time, and you schedule a report to run every day at 3:00 PM, then the report runs every day between 3:00 PM and 3:29 PM as per Indian Standard Time.

• The maximum size for e-mailed reports is 10 MB

• For Enterprise Edition, you are only permitted one dashboard refresh per user, per hour, and for Unlimited Edition this limit is two. If you want to increase this slot, you have to purchase additional refresh slots. To do that, contact the Salesforce.com support team.
