As schools become more data-driven in their decision making, it is becoming increasingly important to provide consistent, quality data to teachers and school administrators.  One easy way to reduce the workload this places on the IT department and to ensure data integrity is to automate routine tasks.  Do you have reports that need to be run at the same time each week?  Schedule a job to run and e-mail a file without human input at regular intervals.  Attendees will learn about tools for scheduling tasks, queries that change behavior depending on the time of year, and tips for "set-it-and-forget-it" data schedules.  This session will walk users through the Navicat program, but skills and approaches learned here can be generalized to other software packages. Intended audience: PowerSchool system administrators. Requirements: working knowledge of SQL
