## Use schedules for routine evidence

Use recurring reports when the same audience needs the same evidence every week or month. Good examples are operations reviews, governance summaries, and compliance evidence packs that started as an [ad-hoc report](/articles/build-an-ad-hoc-report).

> Tip: Keep the first schedule narrow: one template, one audience, one cadence. Expand after recipients confirm the report is useful.

_Scheduled reports define who receives routine evidence, when it runs, and whether Iron Gorilla saves a snapshot._

## Schedule fields

A recurring schedule should start from a report preview that people already trust. Use the same template, scope, filters, and time window, then set the cadence and timezone around the meeting or review window that needs the report.

Delivery can save a snapshot, send a PDF, or do both. Select recipients by user or role, and enable the schedule only after the audience agrees the report is useful.

> Watch out: Review schedules after major policy, connector, or team changes. A report that was useful last month may have the wrong scope after ownership changes.

## What recipients should expect

Saved snapshots keep report evidence stable for later review. PDF delivery works best for business readers who only need the summary, while saved reports are better when someone may need [Markdown or JSON exports](/articles/export-evidence-as-pdf-markdown-or-json) later.

Recipient lists should stay current. If a person no longer owns the process, remove them from the schedule instead of leaving recurring evidence on autopilot.
