Adding a Schedule to a Process

1. Click the Add button. The Add Schedule window is displayed.

2. In the Name field, add a name for the schedule, so that you can easily identify it.
3. From the Process list, select the process that you want to execute at a specific interval.
4. From the Timezone list, select the time zone according to which the schedule is to be performed.

📘

Important!

The schedule time zone is not dependent on the tenant time zone (configured in the Settings page).

5. In the Triggers tab, select the execution frequency of the schedule (Minutes, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Advanced). The right side of the Triggers section is updated accordingly.
6. In the right side of the Triggers section, input the exact time you want the schedule to start at.
7. In the Execution Target tab, select the Robot(s) that you want to execute the process (All Robots, Specific Robots or Allocate dynamically). If you select Specific Robots, all the Robots associated to the selected process are displayed, and you can choose any of them. If you select Allocate dynamically, input the number of times the process is to be executed.
8. (Optionally) In the Actions tab, enable the Stop Job After toggle, and enter the amount of time that needs to pass before the job is either stopped or killed.
9. (Optionally) Select if you want the job to be Stopped or Killed after the stop time elapses.

📘

Note:

The amount of time specified in the Stop After section elapses according to the specifications, even if the job is queued. For example, if you schedule a job to run at 1 p.m. and set it to stop after 20 minutes, the job stops at 1:20 p.m. even if it had stayed in a queue until 1:15 p.m., and then started.

10. (Optionally) In the Actions tab, enable the Disable Schedule at toggle switch and define the time and date when the schedule is to be disabled.
11. (Optionally) If your process has input parameters, you can provide values at this level, in the Parameters tab.
12. Click Create. The Add Schedule window closes. Your settings are saved in the database. The new schedule is displayed in the Schedules page. Please note that newly created schedules are enabled by default.
