Jobs

The Jobs tab lets you schedule recurring tasks (jobs) that run a plug-in so that it performs a specific action, such as cleaning up abandoned print jobs, posting timesheet data, sending workflow notifications, recalculating range calculations on a nightly basis, using connectors to refresh and publish data, and so on. You can schedule jobs for any plug-in that has scheduling enabled.

Scheduling a job

You can create schedules for processing plug-ins on a daily, weekly, monthly, or one-time basis on the Jobs tab of the Scheduled Services tab. Plug-ins are DLL files that can be used to process data, such as sending connector job notifications, recalculating range calculations, or cleaning up abandoned print jobs.
