Events define when the job runs and whether the job runs only once or many times. You can determine whether the job runs every Wednesday, or every fourth Friday, or after an event occurred.
Because events are not associated with a particular job, you can use them to schedule multiple jobs. You can create personal recurring time events that only you can use. You may have access to public recurring time events and externally triggered events your administrator created.
You can create events as you schedule a job or from the Schedule module using the Manage Events panel. You can also view, modify, access, or delete time events.
The types of events that can be used for scheduling jobs are:
Public recurring time events – Reusable time events created by an administrator and accessible to you with the required access privileges.
Personal recurring time events – Reusable time events created by you and accessible only to you.
Externally triggered events – Date based events created by an administrator and accessible to you with the required access privileges. Jobs are scheduled to run when the event is triggered.
Custom time events – Time events created by you for one time use within a job schedule. Custom events cannot be used by other job schedules.
