Setting Up Scheduled Tasks

To begin setting up tasks, go to Administration|Scheduled Tasks.

Here you will see a list of the scheduled tasks you already have available. See Managing Scheduled Tasks for more information on how you can interact with them.

Press the Add Task button to create a new scheduled task.

Fill in the name of the task. Try to keep this informative, such as 'Send Daily Reports' or 'Restart Services'.

Then choose an action from the list. By default, the system only has a single action called Fetch a URL, which can be used to open a given web-URL at the scheduled time.

Other ARDI addins can provide additional options here. For example, the Report List addon gives you the option of sending out a report at the scheduled time.

Hit Save Changes when ready to continue.

Once you've created the initial task, you'll then be prompted to specify exactly what the task does. The options you'll be given vary depending on what your action is.

For example, the options below are for sending a report.

In this case, you'll be able to select the title for your report, the specific bundle of reports to send, you'll be able to adjust the default site name and choose a transmission method.

Hit Save Changes once you're happy with the settings.

Once you've created the task, you'll need to set the time for the task to happen.
