Scheduling administrative tasks 57
Viewing scheduled tasks in the Schedules
view (Mac OS)
After you create a scheduled task, it appears in the Schedules view.
To display the Schedules view, choose Schedules.
The list shows you a summary of each defined schedule, including the
task it performs, the last time it ran, and the next time it will run.
You can use this view of your scheduled tasks to change, duplicate,
enable, disable, and run schedules manually.
Running scheduled tasks manually
Select schedules in the schedules list and choose Action menu > Run
Now
(Windows) or Action menu > Schedules > Run Schedule Now
(Mac
OS) to run schedules manually.
The Last Run column is updated with the current date and time.
Editing scheduled tasks
Select a scheduled task in the schedules list and open Properties
(Windows) or choose
Action menu > Schedules > Edit Schedule
(Mac
OS). Make changes to the scheduled task, then save the changes.
Duplicating scheduled tasks
Sometimes it’s easier to use an existing scheduled task as a template,
rather than defining a completely new schedule.
Windows: Select one or more scheduled tasks and choose Action
menu
> Duplicate. The duplicate schedule appears with “copy ”
appended to its name.
Mac OS: Select a scheduled task and choose Action menu >
Schedules > Duplicate Schedule. The duplicate schedule appears with
“Copy of” appended to its name.
Deleting scheduled tasks
Windows: Select one or more scheduled tasks from the schedules list
and choose
Action menu > Delete.
Mac OS: Select a scheduled task and choose Action menu >
Schedules > Delete Schedule.
You see a confirmation message asking you to confirm that you want
to delete the selected schedule.
Note You can’t undo the deletion of a schedule.
