Defining a Report Job

A report job contains one or more reports to run. The job specifies the directories to scan for the reports and the report formats.

The following example shows how to create and configure a report job. The code for adding a report to the job and running the report job are shown in Adding a Report to a Job and Running a Report Job, respectively.
