Schedule Types
This section provides details regarding the time and date for running a scheduled task.
| Schedule Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Never | Do not run the scheduled task. You can still run the scheduled task manually, but it does not run automatically. |
| Daily |
Run the scheduled task at a preset time every day. You can set more than one time in the Times of Day field by separating times with commas. This schedule type is useful for tasks that must run every night. |
| Weekly |
Run the scheduled task on preset days during the week. When you select this value, the Schedule field displays the days of the week, where you can select one or more days. This schedule type is useful for tasks that should be run during the weekend, for example. You must also specify the time of day for the schedule. |
| Monthly |
Run the scheduled task on preset dates during the month. When you select this value, the Schedule field displays a calendar where you can select specific dates. Hold the CTRL or SHIFT key to select multiple dates. The Include Last Day of Month checkbox is a special value that varies with the length of the month. If you select this checkbox, you do not need to cautiously set the date to "28" if you want the job to run toward the end of every month. You must also specify the time of day for the schedule. |
| Interval |
You can use this schedule type to run a scheduled task frequently to ensure that data in People Planner and Maconomy is in sync. When you select this value, you can set a time range for running the task using the Schedule and Time Range fields. For example, you can schedule a task that runs every 10 minutes during working hours (plus a small margin). By not running this scheduled task outside working hours, this time can instead be used for other maintenance purposes, such as performing backups. Note: Running tasks frequently during working hours may have an impact on the general performance of the system.
