Schedules

The Schedule tab on a Job or Folder is used to set the conditions when a Job will automatically run or the actions that occur after a Job has run. Each condition is called a Schedule Item, and they can include Triggers, Dependencies, Job Status, Reports, or Events and Notifications.

Types of Schedule Items

JAMS has five types of Schedule Items that let you schedule Jobs and control their behavior. The Schedule Items are organized using Natural Language to make them task-based. The table below provides an overview of each option.

Folder and Job Schedules

Some Schedule Items are available only at the Job-level. If you want to have a Job run on an interval (Interval or Recurrence Triggers) or schedule reports to be sent after a Job has completed, set these on the specific Job. Folders do not have these Schedule Items.

Schedule Tab

The Schedule tab lists all Schedule Items that have been configured for a Job or Folder. By default, there are two Event Handler Schedule Items specified for the root folder.

The Schedule tab displays the following:

• Enabled – This property specifies if the Schedule Item is active or inactive.
• Description – This property displays a brief summary of the Schedule Item.
• State – This property specifies if the state of the Trigger. It can display Fired when the Trigger is satisfied.
• Name – This property displays the name of the Schedule Item.
• Type – This property displays the type of the Schedule Item.
• Category – This property displays the category of the Schedule Item.

Each type of Schedule Item has a heading that corresponds to its menu item. You can expand or collapse this menu. In the example below, the “When an event occurs” heading can be expanded or collapsed to hide the two default Schedule Items.

Adding a Schedule Item
