Schedule Query?

Hello dear forum, 

I have been investigating the possibilites to schedule execution of a query but havent found a solution. It appears that scheduling etc. is only for reports and the querys available in reports are not to be confused with the ones in the analysis module. 

Here is a potential use case:
1. Define query for all Application system types and some attibutes and related objects.
2. Run the query every night.
3. Export results to excel sheet every night. 

Am I correct that this has to be done using a report and the report scheduler?

Best Regards

Erik
