Flowlink Cipher : Flowlink Cipher : Scheduler : Scheduler List
 

Scheduler List

The List screen of the Scheduler tool provides a list of all scheduled jobs that have been created for the current Cipher instance.

A job schedule is used to automatically generate a Health, Site Statistics or Analysis report on a regular time interval. The type of report generated and the interval are determined by the options selected by the user when the job was created. The reports are created in PDF or CSV form and emailed to the creator of the job and any other Cipher users or external email addresses specified during job creation. For Site Statistics reports, the PDF is also saved to the reports database where it can be downloaded as needed.

Jobs are created using the Create new scheduled job button in the bottom-right corner of the page. See Create a Report for information on creating reports and the different report types.

The list provides the following information for each scheduled job:

Column

Job Name

The name specified for the job.

The type of report that will be generated by the job. This will be one of:

Template

Active

The status of the job. This is a toggle control that can be set to either:

Active: In this state, the job will run as scheduled.

Inactive: In this state, the job will not run. This can be used to stop reports from being generated without deleting the job.

1. Click the button to change the state of the job.

Actions

Edit: This is used to change the settings of a job after it has been created. Existing reports already generated by the job will be unchanged, only reports generated after the changes have been applied will be affected.

Jobs can only be edited by the user that created them or by users with the Administrator role in the same tenant as the user that created the job.

1. Click Edit to open the Create Scheduled Job page pre-populated with the settings for the job.

2. Make any necessary changes to the job settings.

3. Click Save Scheduled Job.

Delete: This is used to stop the job from running and permanently delete it from the system.

1. Click Delete to remove the job.

A message will be displayed to confirm the removal.

2. Click Yes to complete the removal of the job.

The list of jobs can be filtered by entering text in the Search field at the top of the screen. Only sites that match the text specified will be included in the list. A drop-down list beside the Search field can be used to filter the list even further by specifying the property in which to search for the matching text. When an option is selected, only jobs with text in the selected property (job, tag, site, etc.) will be available.

The Scheduler list displays a maximum of 10 items by default. This limit can be changed using the Items per page control below the list. Navigation options also appear below the list when the number of items exceeds the set limit and more pages are needed. This control reports the total number of jobs in the complete list and the number of jobs displayed in the current page of the list.

1. Select an option from the Items per page drop-down list.

2. Click the Next or Previous arrow to view a different page of jobs.
