Feature details

Some reports give different results when run as Preview or as Preview & Close.

Running these reports in the background (as scheduled tasks) yields different results due to triggers in the request page when the report is run directly.

When the report is run as a scheduled job, the request page is not invoked in the same way, and triggers are not executed. The same happens when we allow multiple previews.

We have changed the logic in the request page to check a new setting, AllowScheduling, instead of relying on SaveValues.
