When viewing the Schedule Manager, keep in mind that it now automatically refreshes when new jobs are added, or when there is a change in a job status. You always get the latest, real time view of the Schedule Manager.
When a configuration change is ready to be scheduled to one or more devices in the Network, typically on completion of an Editor session, the scheduler is opened. The scheduler allows you to define when a job is run, and enforces workflow approvals.
The Scheduler allows you to designate when jobs are pushed to the network. Access to the Schedule option is available at the bottom of each editor window.
The Scheduler allows you to complete the following tasks:
-
Set the Priority of a Job
-
Set Run Times for all Jobs
-
Set Recurring Job Schedules
-
Approve Scheduled Jobs (user-permissions required)
-
Submit Jobs for Approval
-
Send Notifications to Other Users Regarding Job
-
Review Job Tasks
