The  scheduler is used to run certain scheduled tasks in the interface to calculate trends and alerts, send scheduled reports, run integration models and purge archives. All these tasks can be run based on a specified frequency and disabled at any time.

You can view active tasks, see their next execution date and duration, and disable tasks in different task monitoring tables. These tools enable you to optimize the planning and scheduling of tasks.

Notes

• You can access task monitoring tables by selecting Administration > Scheduled Tasks in the menu. This menu groups different options together:
  • Scheduled Tasks option: Displays all scheduled tasks.
  • Trends, Scheduled Alerts, Scheduled Reports, Integrations, Purge Archives: Display each type of task.
• You can disable a task in its task monitoring table.

      See How to choose the best tool for automating integration.

Caution

• You should not confuse the  with the smoBackOffice system scheduler used mainly to run Discovery/Network data integration and preimport tasks.
