Differences between a schedule and a subscription

In IBM® Cognos® Analytics, you can create and maintain both schedules and subscriptions. Although they share some similar characteristics, there are also key differences.

The following table shows the main differences between schedules and subscriptions.

Schedule	Subscription
Only the report owner can create the schedule.	Many people can create a subscription from the same report.
The scheduler must have Read, Write, and Execute permissions for the report.	A subscriber requires only Read and Execute permissions for the report. If you have an Analytics Viewer license, you can subscribe to reports, but not schedule them.
There can only be one schedule per report.	A user can have up to 32 subscriptions from the same report.
Created by tapping the More button for the report's list entry.	Created by running a report and, in view mode, tapping the More button in the application bar.
Anyone with read access can view the schedule.	Only the subscriber can view their subscription.
The owner controls the maximum number of saved report versions.	Only the most recent saved report version is available if the number of report output objects does not change after you subscribe to the report.
