To manually run a scheduled event right now
Scheduled Reports and the Action Now option
Running Action Now on a scheduled report does not apply the scheduled report parameters for today's date, unless the report schedule actually specifies today as a run date.
EXACT sees a Scheduled Report as an inflexible dated task list.
Each time that you Action Now it completes and ticks off the next dated task in that list.
So when you run Action Now on a scheduled report, EXACT runs the next report in the schedule and then considers that task to have been completed in the schedule.
Example:
Report A is scheduled to run on the 25th of every month.
Today is 10th January.
If I Action Now, EXACT runs Report A for 25th January, even though today is 10th January.
If I again Action Now, it then runs Report A for 25th February, even though today is 10th January.
If I again Action Now, it then runs Report A for 25th March, even though today is 10th January.
...etc.
