Detailed view of a scheduled task
See below the description of each screen in the detailed view of a scheduled task, and what actions you can perform in each of them. The following screens are common for all scheduled tasks. The Settings screen has specific elements for each type of scheduled task. See the corresponding scheduled task articles for more information.
Overview screen
This screen provides a few basic options to configure the scheduled task.
Server - This scheduled task is only run on the specified server. If no server is specified, any server can execute the scheduled task.
Allow task to be run on demand - If selected, the scheduled task can be started only manually by an administrator, otherwise it can only be started by a schedule.
If task is already running - Set what the system should do if a task is already running:
- Do not start a new instance - A new task won't be started when this task is still running.
- Run a new instance in parallel - Always start a new task, even if this task is still running.
- Queue a new instance - Queue a new task and run it immediately after the currently running task is finished.
Notifications screen
This screen shows a list of email addresses that receive a notification after the task ran.
For system tasks provided by Application Workspace, the notification option will use the mail servers that are defined in the primary zone, if available.
Only send errors and task updates
- When enabled, a mail notification will be sent only if there is something notable to report, like:
- The task has failed to run.
- The task has information to report.
- When disabled, a mail notification will always be sent after the task ran, regardless of the results.
