For your batch scheduling task, click Parameters.

Specify this information:

Location: Select the location to generate the schedule for. Schedules are generated for the location and its child locations.
Schedule Name: Specify the name to be applied to the generated schedules. Optionally, you can include the characters %FW in the name to add the fiscal week number in the schedule names. This can help users to differentiate between schedules that are generated for different weeks.
Min Day Offset to Start Date: Specify the minimum number of days between the batch execution date and the schedule start date. When the batch job runs, the offset number is added to the current date to calculate the offset date. If the offset date is the same day of the week as the start day configured for the location, the schedule starts on the offset date. Otherwise, the schedule starts on the next occurrence of the start day after the offset date.
Delete Existing: Select this check box to delete existing schedules before creating the new schedules. This deletes any schedules created for the location(s) that overlap the dates of the new schedules. Clear this check box to skip schedule generation for any locations that have existing schedules that overlap the new schedules.
Batch Process Size: Specify the number of schedules that can be generated simultaneously by this task. The number of schedules must be the same or lower than the total number of Dash licenses available. Schedules beyond this number are queued until other schedules are completed.
See "Dash Licenses and Parallel Schedule Generation" in the Infor Workforce Management Installation and Configuration Guide for details.
Solution Time Out (In Seconds): Specify the number of seconds before the search for an optimal solution times out.
Note: The default value is 3600 seconds (60 minutes). We recommend you set this value to 300 - 420 seconds (five to seven minutes).
Solution Optimality Tolerance (In Percentage): Specify the margin of error that is allowed when searching for an optimal solution. The lower the margin of error, the better the results will be.
Workmail Notification: Select users to be notified via Workmail when the task is completed.
