History
Tweaks
1) time set on reports must be GMT London time (display word "GMT")
3) CC, BCC fields are missing
4) REplace label "Client Company:" with "Report For Company:" . This will make it clear that it is not a filter.
Tweaks V.1.1.a
Note: Tw1)-Tw3) are Mantis 1268, tw4) is Mantis 1272 -- Tira 9:12 AM 2 Oct 2009 (UTC)
tw1) Schedule: Make time zone as a dropdown list and default based on Jaguar User Log in local time
tw2) Make Recipients: text box to dropdown list include a list of Client email (non-JG users) that depends on Report For Company dropdown selected. For example, if report for company filter is set to company X, Recipients dropdown list will be employees who work for company X --> Kostya said it is a tag, so this will be included for all the non-JG users list.
tw3) Make CC and BCC recipients: text box to dropdown list with combination list of Jaguar and Non-jaguar Users
tw4) Add Schedule option for Every __ hours with a dropdown list of 4, 18, 12, 16, and 24 hours
tw5) Allow user to manually type email lists on list box of emails for recipients -- Tira 4:12 AM 22 Oct 2009 (UTC)
tw6) CT# hyperlinks for client users -> link to view shipment on client interface, for internal users -> link to view shipment on Internal interface.
NOTE: manually typed email addresses (copied and pasted to combo box) -> anonymous: consider to have hyperlinks to view client interface. And if that user doesn't have client visibility, there is a warning pop-up message.

Solution version 1
This is a current version!
Currently some(!) CT2 reports can be scheduled:
- from Internal App
- from Client App
Internal version v1
The following labels should be corrected:
- "Client's reports" label should be renamed into "Scheduled by client user"
- "Internal reports" label should be renamed into "Scheduled by Jaguar user"
Client version v1
The following wiki defines option to allow non jag users to schedule reports themselves / see scheduled reports: 1892_rfd.
More
- more columns and filters (example: reports assigned to)
- in one report instance one can set DR vs email option per user. Now it is per instance (all users can be set to receive DR or email)
