Schedule App Tasks
Scheduling
Apps may have tasks available for scheduling. These tasks will be unique to each app. However, the process for scheduling these tasks is the same.
Schedules can run at a regular:
- interval (minutes or hours), or
- time and day (daily or day of the week)..
Guidelines
-
Multiple schedules: You can create multiple schedules for the same task. For example, if you want to run a task twice a day, create two schedules.
-
User security applies: The security credentials of the user who controls the schedule applies.
-
User can be changed: A user can remove themselves from a schedule allowing a different user to take control of the task.
-
Alert and pause on failure: If a scheduled task fails, the scheduler will pause and an alert will be created for the user who controls the schedule.
-
Schedules not copied/exported: Schedules are not copied when the project is copied, and they are not exported when the project is exported.
-
Local Time: When viewing a scheduled ingestion, the date and time the ingestion will be run is in your local time zone.
