Scheduling and running an action

From the Action pane, actions can be scheduled to run immediately or at a predetermined schedule, providing you with greater flexibility and control over your data.

Procedure

  1. In the Action pane, select the action that you want to schedule, and then click Run Action.
    The Action Scheduling dialog box appears.
  2. Within the Action Scheduling dialog box, you must determine an action schedule. Select from these options:
    • Immediate: If you select this option, the action is queued to run immediately.
    • Scheduled: If you select this option, the action is queued to run according to the schedule you set. In the On text box, enter the date, and in the at text box, enter the time that this action is scheduled to run.
  3. After the action schedule is set, click Run and View or Run.
    The action can be seen in the action log pane by clicking Details> Action Log. Actions that were scheduled to run immediately show as Running in the Type column. Actions that are scheduled to run later are listed as Queued.
