Override Codes for Groups

You can apply schedule override codes to group control jobs or to individual group members. When you apply these override codes from the Groups page or the Member Jobs page, they're applied at the group level and affect the group run schedule.

Override codes applied at the group level are indicated by a Member Override icon The Group Override icon. on the Jobs page. To see what kind of override was applied, go to the Groups page.

Applying an Override Code to a Group Control Job

From the Groups page, clicktap The Show Actions button. Show Actions by any group to select one of the following override codes for it:

  • Do Job Now: Runs the group immediately.

  • Hold: Holds the entire group.

  • Omit Job Next Time: Omits the group on the group’s next scheduled run time. (This option is found under Schedule Override.)

  • Run Job Next Time: Runs the group on the group’s next scheduled run time. (This option is found under Schedule Override.)

  • Remove Override: Removes the group's override code. Note: Any override codes that were applied outside of the group control job (for example, from the Jobs page, or at the member level) will remain in effect.

Applying an Override Code to a Member Job

A job can have both an individual run schedule and be a member of one or more groups. You can apply schedule override codes at either level: individual or group. Member overrides are applied at the group level and do not affect a member job's individual run schedule (if it has one). This section describes applying member override codes at the group level. For information on applying schedule override codes at the individual level, see Schedule Overrides.

First, you must find the member job on either the Groups page or the Member Jobs page. Then, do one of the following:

  • From the Groups page, expand the group the member belongs to. Then, clicktap The Show Actions button. Show Actions by the member and select an override code.

  • From the Member Jobs page, clicktap The Show Actions button. Show Actions by the member and select an override code.

Select from the following schedule override codes for the group member:

  • Start now with this Member: Start group processing at this job. This code works only for dependent groups; that is, only when group processing stops when a job in the group fails. If a group is set to run all members at once, this won't work.

  • Hold in Group: Hold this job; Robot Schedule skips this member job each time it runs the group as if it wasn't part of the group.

  • Omit Job Next Time: Omit this member job the next time the group runs. (This option is found under Override in Group.)

  • Run Job Next Time: Run this member job the next time the group runs. (This option is found under Override in Group.)

  • Remove Override in Group: Remove any member override code on this job that was applied at the group level. Note: Any override codes that were applied outside of the group (for example, codes applied from the Jobs page if this member job has an individual run schedule outside of the group) will remain in effect.

To run the job immediately as a standalone job, not as a member of the group, go to the Jobs page and apply the Do Job Now override code.
