Scheduling Exports
This feature lets you automatically produce exports at specified intervals and send them to an email address. The Schedule option is available from the Export dialog that displays when you perform an export. Once created, you can then view, manage, and download your scheduled exports using the Download Manager. For more information on the Export feature, see Exporting Data.
