## Report Jobs

The list box Report Jobs contains the reports that are scheduled to be generated from the data in the Dlf Store.

When you edit a Report Job, you'll have to enter a name for the report jobs and add one or more schedules. If might surprise at first that you can add more than one schedule in a report jobs, but the idea is that all the schedules in the same report job can be safely merged together. For example, you might want to generate a daily, weekly and monthly firewall report while only retaining one week of data in the Dlf Store. In that case, the monthly report will automatically be gnerated from the month daily reports.

### Report Schedules

Each schedule associates the period at which the report is going to be generated. You also select in this screen the the section called “Report Configurations” that is going to be used to generate the report.

### Note

You can select different report configurations for different schedules in the same report jobs. Since the reports can be merged you should take care to select compatible report configurations.

`You can also configure one or more output jobs for the schedules.`

### Ouput Jobs

The report is generated in XML and saved in the Dlf Store. You can configure Output Jobs to format the report in one of the supported output format and either save this report somewhere on the filesystem and/or send it by email to one or more recipients.
