# Example B. Sorting Reports by Name

Consider the following scenario: you want to schedule a weekly delivery for a set of reports. After the reports are created, you want to save each report to a separate folder with the report name.

To sort reports into folders by report name, you can take the following steps:

1. [Create a folder that will group a set of necessary reports](script_example_b.md#step1).
2. [Save reports with the necessary parameters into the folder](script_example_b.md#step2).
3. [Create a script that will sort the generated reports](script_example_b.md#step3).
4. [Set the necessary schedule for the folder and specify the post-delivery script](script_example_b.md#step4).

## Step 1. Create Folder {#step1}

Create a report folder as described in [Creating Folders](create_folders.md). The folder will be used to group a set of reports that you want to create on a scheduled basis.

## Step 2. Save Reports {#step2}

Save reports with the necessary parameters as described in section [Saving Reports](save_reports.md).

## Step 3. Create Script {#step3}

When you schedule a report delivery for set of reports in a folder, Veeam ONE Web Client saves the reports to a target location by the following path:

`<TargetDirectory>\reporting-task-for-folder-<FolderName><ID>\`

The sample script must perform the following operations:

1. Access the target report location:

   `C:\reports\reporting-task-for-folder-<FolderName><ID>\`

2. For every generated report, retrieve the report name and copy the report to a folder with the report name:

   `C:\share\myreports\%ReportName%\`

   To create a folder with the report name, the script will use the `%ReportName%` parameter.

3. Remove the reports from the target location and delete the target directory.

An example of the script is provided below:

```
::Changing directory to the target report location
cd reporting-task-for-folder*
set RD=%cd%

::Removing extension and date from the report file name
set ReportName=%~n1
set Extension=%~x1
set FolderName=%ReportName:~0,-11%

::Copying the report to a folder with the report name
echo f | xcopy %1 "c:\share\myreports\%FolderName%\%ReportName%%Extension%" /y

::Removing the target report location
cd ..\
rd %RD% /s/q
```

Save the script as a Windows batch file on the machine where Veeam ONE Server is installed.

To follow this example, save the script with the `postdelivery.bat` name to the `C:\reports\` directory.

## Step 4. Configure Scheduling Settings {#step4}

Configure scheduling settings for the saved report as follows:

1. Open Veeam ONE Web Client.
2. Open the **Saved Reports** section.
3. On the saved report or report folder, right-click the necessary folder and select **Schedule** in the context menu.
4. In the **Report Scheduling Settings** window, click **Add**.

   Veeam ONE Web Client will launch the **Add Schedule** wizard.

5. In the **Add Schedule** window, configure automatic delivery settings as follows:

   1. At the **Schedule** step of the wizard, create a schedule according to which the report should be generated. To follow this example, schedule the report to run on a weekly basis.

   2. At the **Delivery** step of the wizard, select only the **Save to a folder** check box.
   3. At the **Target Folder** step of the wizard, specify target folder details. In the **Path** field, enter the path to the folder where the generated report will be stored. 
   4. In the **Script Options** step, specify the location of the script file in the **Path to the script file** field.

      To follow this example, enter `C:\reports` in the **Path** field. In the **Path to the script file** field, enter the path to the script and pass the report name parameter to the script: `C:\reports\postdelivery.bat %ReportName%`

      [![Configure Report Schedule](images/sorting_reports_st4_path_name.png "Configure Report Schedule")](images/sorting_reports_st4_path_name.png){.toggle scale=70}

6. Save the scheduling settings.

## Expected Result

At the specified schedule time, Veeam ONE Web Client will automatically generate the reports. When a report is created, Veeam ONE Web Client will trigger the script that will copy the report to a separate folder.
