Job data

To create a job, you must specify basic job data and link sessions to the job. In the basic job data you specify whether the job is periodical. For periodical jobs, you specify how the job will be scheduled.

You can use a job to run one or more sessions as follows:

  • Once, at a predefined time
  • Repeatedly, at specific times
  • Periodically

You can use the job management calendar to define the date and time the job must be started. Using the job calendar, you can start the job during quiet periods. For example, you can schedule processing and printing jobs to run after office hours to improve the system performance during the day.

In LN, you can create the following two job types:

  • Periodical jobs that are carried out multiple times

    For a periodical job, you must specify a time interval or a calendar is specified. If desired, you can restart the job automatically.

  • Non-periodical jobs that are carried out only once

    When the job is carried out, the job data is removed automatically.
