About Scheduling Jobs

Common administrative tasks can be managed on the Jobs tab. New jobs can be added to run automatically at scheduled intervals and existing jobs can be removed, disabled, edited, and run manually. Setting up these actions in advance allows you complete control in managing your schedule and ongoing maintenance tasks, freeing your time for other needs.

Scheduled job activities can be automatically updated on the Jobs tab as changes are recorded by the server. On the Jobs tab, use the Auto refresh feature to automatically update jobs displayed, or click the Refresh button to manually update the listing.

Important

You can also schedule jobs to run using Windows Task Scheduler to save server resources and manage load balancing.

Note

Job processing uses server RAM. To monitor any memory drain when certain jobs are running, check the Memory bar graph in the Server tab.

Warning

Too much processing on the FYI Server can bring the server down. Watchdog services will restart the server but user sessions will be shutdown. Each user needs to log back on to regain access.
