As we have noted, xTuple Connect features appear throughout xTuple ERP (assuming the components are installed and enabled), and the range of features varies depending on your xTuple ERP edition. Any window with a SCHEDULE button on it allows sending a job to the xTuple Connect Batch Manager. Most report screens let you schedule the report to be run by the xTuple Connect Batch Manager using the selection criteria entered on the screen.
