A published schedule is visible to all users with access to the folder in which it resides. The shortcut menu options that appear on the schedule depend upon the privileges of the user that is signed in. For example, a user with the Run privilege is able to run the published schedule. When a published schedule runs, it runs as the creator of the schedule and not as the signed in user that initiated the run.
Information about a schedule, such as date, time, execution status, and recipients of a distributed job, can be accessed by running a log report and checking the job status in the ReportCaster Status. You can also analyze the resource utilization of schedules.
Log reports are stylized HTML format and appear in a separate browser window. You can search, print, or save the log report. The log report displays information according to your specifications in a separate browser window. One log record is produced for each scheduled job run in the specified time frame.

Another resource for tracking schedules is the schedule job status. The schedule status provides a list of scheduled jobs that are in the Distribution Server queue. Status information includes the schedule ID, the time it started running, and the status of the job.
