Scheduled Task Tab
A scheduled task adds a scheduling part to a task specification.
You cannot run task specifications manually, but you can schedule it to "Never Run" and use the play button described below to run it immediately.
However, if you want to automate a task so that it runs at a set time, such as during the night when the system is otherwise idle, you can create a scheduled task.
Note: To run scheduled tasks, the People Planner Windows Service should also be installed and running.
You can view and manage the current scheduled tasks in this tab.
The following buttons are located at the top of this view to maintain scheduled tasks.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| +Add | Click to schedule a task defined by its task specification. |
| Edit | Click to edit an existing schedule. |
| Delete | Click to delete the selected task schedule. A confirmation message allows you to accept or cancel the deletion.
Note: A scheduled task cannot be deleted if it has ever been used to import data.
