After you create a scheduled task, it appears in a list on the Automatic Reports tab. From this list, you can view the task's status, modify its settings, or disable it.
You can create a maximum of five scheduled tasks per workspace. If you reach this limit, you must delete an existing task before creating a new one.
Dashboard settings
A dashboard's URL contains its query parameters and time range. When you export a dashboard, ensure that the URL contains the correct parameters for the data you want to display.
Dashboard rendering times out after 5 minutes. If a dashboard takes longer than this to load, the system cancels the export task. For successful exports, we recommend optimizing your dashboards to load in under 30 seconds.
