Scheduling a rule

If you plan to run a rule on a schedule, you need to enable it for scheduling by selecting the Schedule Based trigger type on the Rule dialog. (Note that, once you save the rule, you cannot go back later and change this selection.) After saving the rule, you then need to set up its corresponding scheduled task. You can define one or more scheduled tasks for the same rule.

To schedule a rule, select the rule on the group's, device type's, or device's Rules tab and click Schedule above the list of rules. The Schedules dialog opens, with the details of the selected rule shown on the Rule Details tab.

By default, a scheduled task for a rule is an Enterprise task.

To create the scheduled task for the rule, click Add to open the New Schedule dialog. Complete the fields as needed and click Schedule. (For field help, see Common scheduling fields.) After a few moments, the Schedules dialog is refreshed to show the new scheduled task.

To remove a scheduled task for the rule, select it on the Schedules dialog and click Delete .
