Viewing the Schedule Activity

The Schedule Activity monitor (SAM) provides a visual reference of the status of your job schedule.

In the Navigation Pane, clicktap Schedule Activity under the Robot Schedule menu. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Pane to expand it.

The SAM page is divided into three sections:

  • Forecasted: Shows the jobs scheduled to run in the *INTERNAL forecast (for details, see Schedule Forecasting). It includes forecast jobs that have been checked off if the preference for "Show Submitted/Checked-Off Forecast Jobs" is enabled.
  • Active: Shows the jobs that are currently running, waiting to run, or are OPAL delayed.
  • Completed: Shows the jobs that completed either normally or abnormally.

Things to know and do:

  • The total number of jobs of each type is listed at the top of each section. This includes only Robot Schedule jobs, not user jobs. Note: Completed and Active will show user jobs if the preferences are set up to track user jobs.

  • Each section can only display up to 100 records. Which jobs are displayed depends on how you're sorting the list. To expand the list and display the full listing, including more detail about each job, clicktap the button at the top of the list.
