Scheduled Tasks

FastStats (Enterprise) gives you the ability to schedule a number of defined tasks based upon certain actions or on a regular/ad hoc basis.  These actions can be used as alerts to keep you informed when various activities have been  completed or certain figures have been reached or not.

1. From the Tools menu select the option Manage Scheduled Tasks...

   The window that is displayed will show, by default, the last 10 scheduled tasks.  The detail of each task can be examined by clicking on the Edit button or removed by clicking on the Delete button.

2. Click on the Add Task... button to create a new scheduled task

   The predefined tasks that can be scheduled are explained in the following topics:

   • Email

   • Rebuild Item

   • Export

   • Update Excelsior

   • Output Promotion

   • Update Response Variable

   • Rebuild Report

When managing scheduled tasks, it is possible to append a run or system build date to your file output name. The user-defined option provides greater flexibility and the ability to format this date to best suit your specific requirements.
