Hi @NestorG ,

To schedule a report to run every two hours between 5am and 10pm daily in ServiceNow, you can use Scheduled Jobs. Here’s how you can achieve this:

1. Navigate to Scheduled Jobs:

   • Go to System Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs in your ServiceNow instance.

2. Create a New Scheduled Job:

   • Click on New to create a new scheduled job record.

3. Configure the Scheduled Job:

   • Fill out the fields as follows:
     • Name: Provide a descriptive name for your scheduled job.
     • Active: Checked (to enable the scheduled job).
     • Schedule: Set the schedule using cron syntax for every two hours between 5am and 10pm.
       • Cron expression for every two hours: 0 */2 5-22 * * *
         • Explanation:
           • 0: At the 0th minute of the hour.
           • */2: Every 2 hours.
           • 5-22: Between the 5th and 22nd hour (5am to 10pm).
           • * * *: Every day of the month, every month, and every day of the week.
     • Script: Specify the script or the report generation task that you want to schedule.
     • Start Date: Set the date when you want the schedule to start.
     • End Date: Optionally, set an end date if you want the schedule to stop running after a certain date.
     • Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone for your schedule.

4. Save and Activate:

   • Click on Submit to save the scheduled job.
