About Execution Options

EDQ can execute the following types of task, either interactively from the GUI (by right-clicking on an object in the Project Browser, and selecting Run), or as part of a scheduled Job.

The tasks have different execution options. Click on the task below for more information:

• About Snapshots

• About Processes

• About External Tasks (such as File Downloads, or External Executables)

• About Exports (of data)

• About Results Book Exports

In addition, when setting up a Job it is possible to set About Triggers to run before or after Phase execution.

When setting up a Job, tasks may be divided into several Phases in order to control the order of processing, and to use conditional execution if you want to vary the execution of a job according to the success or failure of tasks within it.
