Schedule Frequencies for Required and Recommended Reports

System functionality is improved if regularly scheduled maintenance reports are used to keep data and records current. Some reports are required, while others are merely recommended.

Also refer to the Maintaining the Integrity of Your Data with Reports topic to see if a certain report depends on another report, can be run independently, or must be preceded or followed by another report.
