Schedule Tasks Configuration

The scheduler is a powerful tool which allows to create any kind of schedule in a simple way.

For this purpose, and with the simplicity in mind, the schedule creation has been designed to have three main options:

Repetitive schedules

Schedules that are launched every X time. We can choose the time between launches.

The repetitive schedule, as its name suggests, allows to create schedules to be launched every X time, where X is the time between one launches.

Depending on the time unit, other options will be available to help users to create advanced schedules.

But first, the next fields are common for all the possible options:

^1: If the From criterion is empty, the task will be launched first at the moment it's created.

^2: If the To criterion is empty, the task will be launched indefinitely until its configuration changes, or the task is removed.

Note: If one of the optional values inside the configuration is left empty, the default All value will be applied.

One time Schedules

This kind of schedule will launch a task just once.

This schedule type launches a task only once, by creating a cron pattern with an specific date and time.

The available fields to create this kind of task are:

OptionDefinitionUsoDisables
Execution dateThe launch date.RequiredNone
Execution timeThe launch time.RequiredNone

Note: At least one of the two criterions need to be filled.

Custom schedules

The custom schedule allows to create every possible configuration the Quartz Scheduler can work with. The custom schedule configuration screen uses dependencies in order to help the user with the correct creation of the schedule by enabling / disabling criterions when needed.

The custom schedule offers all the available fields that can be customized to create the cron pattern.
