Creating new tasks

Use this procedure to create new tasks. New tasks can be created and scheduled in the Task Scheduler page.

Procedure

Choose Admin > Settings > Task Scheduler to open the Task Scheduler page.
The page lists all tasks by task type, task definition and description, the latest start date, the latest run status (Scheduled, Started, Running, Finished, Error), the next start date, the task status (Active, Inactive, Completed), and the user who started the task.
Note: If the Task Scheduler service is not available, you will see an error message and will be unable to create tasks. Contact your DemandTec by Acoustic Representative for assistance.
Click New Task to open the New Task dialog box.
