Hi @Learner ,

If I understood your question right, you could use this cron expression to schedule your search to run on the first day of the month at 00:00.

 

0 0 1 * *

 

You can check a more detailed explanation and test new cron expressions on this site: https://crontab.guru/#0_0_1_*_*

But if the report needs to search a period between the 1st day and the 15th day of previous month, your should use the earliest and latest time in your search query (Or select it in your time picker):

 

...YOUR SEARCH... earliest=-1mon@mon latest=-1mon@mon+1296000
