Reports
Run the reports selected in Altivane, and save each tenant's Excel workbook to its Reports folder.
Scheduled runs
Reports, Documents and Workflows on a Schedule
Windows Task Scheduler runs them without a window, with the same settings, tenants and templates as the app, and a log of every run.
What you get
Client documents
Run the scorecard reports and build each tenant's Word document and workbook, as Build documents does.
Workflows
Add --apply to make a workflow's changes. Set parameters by name; the ones you don't set take their defaults.
A log of each run
Each run writes a log, and Task Scheduler shows the exit code as the task's last run result.

Before you schedule
A run uses the same settings, tenants and templates as the window.
- Tenants need certificate sign-in. A run without a window refuses a tenant that signs in interactively.
- Choose the tenants a scheduled run includes in Altivane's list of tenants, or name them for 1 run with
--tenants. - The Windows user the task runs as needs Altivane activated, and the tenant's certificate in their own or the computer's personal certificate store.
- Run the task once, then check the output folder and the Run logs folder in it.
