Schedule a Process
Access
Use this routine to schedule STORIS processes to
run automatically at user-defined dates and times. You can schedule processes
to
run one or more times during
a single day, each with its own runtime options, and each with its
own schedule.
email the results of the process
to users or user groups.
Important: This process allows you to send
process results via email to selected users. STORIS recommends that prior
to scheduling processes, you ensure your settings do not cause the process
to distribute sensitive data to undesired users.
This process allows you to schedule processes to run as phantoms at scheduled
times. In order for the scheduled processes to execute, the Process Scheduler
phantom must be launched. See the Start Scheduler Phantom field in General
System Control Settings.
To specify run-time options for
a scheduled process, click on the Actions button and select Enter Process
Preferences from the menu that appears. You can specify preferences (via
the Actions button) for the View Summary of Sales Activity process and
for the Convert Comment Files process. However, security restrictions
may prevent certain users from accessing the preferences window. In addition,
restriction rules apply to the data available for view, such as costing
data, by specific users or user groups. Refer to Create
a User and Create a User Group
