Notes about the Report Scheduler. 

Updated version now shows company ID when you click on the icon in the hidden icons at lower Right of your desktop.

If you are scheduling multiple companies, you will run multiple copies of the scheduler, each with a different company.

On the Properties> Target you enter the company ID in quotes, and the user ID in quotes. The Company id is the full name shown in Company Defaults. 

Generally you would set up a specific user for the scheduler with no password and no rights within ALERE to use for the scheduler.

The scheduler will normally be run directly on the server.You set up a shortcut for each company you are running it for. 

Example of target: C:\ALERE20\rptsched.exe "Bob's sample V20 (TIWD) C:""BOB"
