Scheduling jobs with workflows

With Guardium® Insights workflows, you can intuitively schedule jobs in simple or advanced manners, as suits your needs. When you create a workflow in Guardium Insights, you are setting up a process for scheduling actions and then tracking the distribution, review, and completion of those actions. You can schedule reports to run and set up workflows for those reports - or you can schedule import jobs (these require an integration for importing and exporting data, which you can set up when you create the workflow if you don't already have one).
