# Schedule reports
Energy Monitor can periodically send "**SLA**", "**Availability Reports**" and "**Alert Summary**" reports.
Enter "**Report**" -> "**Schedule report**"
In this menu you will also see every scheduled report.
## Setting the schedule up
1. You need to create, generate and save into the Energy Monitor database, the report of which you wish to schedule. It will serve as a blueprint, so that Energy Monitor knows what sort of data it is suppsoed to gather.
Afterwards, choose the type of your report under "**Select Report type**"
2. Under "**Select Report**", pick your desired report.
3. You can send your report to a single recipient via an email or multiple recipients, under "**Recpients**" field. Separate each e-ail address from the next, with a "**,**" sign.
4. "**Filename**" field allows you to specify the name for your report. 2 formats are available, PDF and CSV. By default PDF is generated, regardless of name. However, if you wish to generate a CSV file, make sure your name ends in .csv.
ie. my_test_report.csv
5. "**Description**" field allows you to insert a plain text explanation of what this report does, what it consists of, etc.
6. "**Attach description**" will append your description to the general description which is automatically generated for each report.
7. "**Save report on Monitor Server?**" field allows you to specify where on the mainframe should the report be saved. Absolute paths are mandatory, ie. /home/reports.
8. You can then choose the hour at which the report will be generated, when, etc.
