schedule reports for a specific time
Have the ability to schedule reports for a specific time

Scheduling feature set is close to what we need, but the inability to specify the "time/hour" that a report would start or be ready by is a hang-up. Currently I had scheduled multiple reports for 1st of the month. The reports take a while to run and today they didn't start until after 10am (local time).
This leads to three issues -
- First is confusion if the schedule is working.
- Second is additional workload on the reporting system is possible because I initiated the reports manually (and then the schedule kicked in on top of my manual initiation).
- Third this meant the data was not available when I needed it and caused downstream delays.
