|---|---|
| scheduled-reports.day-of-week | The day of the week when the weekly and fortnightly scheduled reports are run.

| scheduled-reports.day-of-month | The day of the month when the monthly scheduled reports are run. By default, the monthly scheduled reports are set to run on the first day of the month (default value is 1). Valid values include 1 to 28. For example, if you change the value to 5, the monthly reports will run on the 5th of every month, and will include data from the 5th of the previous month, to the 4th of the current month. |
| scheduled-reports.quarterly-start-month | The month in the first quarter when the quarterly scheduled reports are run. By default, the quarterly scheduled reports are set to run on the first day of January, April, July, and October (default value is Jan). The valid format for this value is MMM. For example, if you change the value to Nov, the quarterly reports will run on the first day in November, February, May, and August. The November quarterly report will include data from August 1st to October 31st. |

| reports.max-rows | The maximum number of rows that a report produces. Once the number of rows in a report reaches this value, the data in the report is cut short (and the report will contain a message to indicate this has happened).

| reports.csv-display-comment-headers | Determines whether to display the comment headers in CSV reports (e.g. The report name and report parameters in the first few rows of the file). You might want to remove the headers if the CSV files are to be post processed or imported into a 3rd party system, such as an accounts database. To display comment headers set the value to Y, to hide set the value to N. |
