Using the Scheduler

Use

In the scheduler, you can execute and monitor complex business flows, for example, period-end closing. You can define task lists if you have the corresponding authorization.

Integration

• You can group tasks that are to be executed in the background in a particular order, (and which are controlled by the workflow) into a
flow definition.
• You monitor flows and jobs during and after processing in the
monitor

• Use the multilevel
worklist to improve performance and reduce error processing.

Prerequisites

Before using the scheduler, you need to create a task list in which you can later insert the tasks to be scheduled.

Features

The scheduler is divided up into three areas:

• Task list

Tasks structured into task groups in chronological order, which are executed periodically, possibly by more than one user to complete a certain process.

• Monthly overview

An overview of the current and previous month.

You can select a day from the monthly overview, which the system then displays in the daily overview in detail.

• Daily overview

Overview of the tasks to be done during the day.

Tasks created in the task list are scheduled in the daily overview. The system displays executed tasks in the daily overview with the time that they started.

Activities

Create a task list.

Schedule tasks in the daily overview and if required, have the system execute them.
