Hello ,

 

So basically , an alert is based on a scheduled saved search that whenever certain conditions are overcome, generates one or more actions to be executed.

A report is scheduled by you at an specific time, example everyday at 9 am , or 2 times a day one at 7 other at 4. So this would be your first issue changing to a report.

It should be fairy easy just copy the search and put it on a report , or save as report, if you need futher assistance on that you can add the code here.
