The scheduler options allow you to specify whether you want to automatically run One Stop Automation at timed intervals or at specific times and the tasks to perform during a each run.

Options Section
Check ‘Scheduler on’ to run One Stop Automation actions.
Change the wait time to specify the length of time to wait between each run scheduled run. You can choose to define your interval in second or minute intervals.
By default, when One Stop Automation performs any action it will wait for 3 minutes before timing out, however you can make this value shorter or longer by changing the value in the timeout box.

Actions Section
You can define a number of actions to run certain tasks at either specific times (and days of the week) or at scheduled intervals (defined in the Options section).

Create a new action
Click the New button. The task dialog is displayed.

Select the tasks to run for this action. If you select Order Processing you can select the Order Processing to run (defined in the Order Processing options tab). If you select One Stop Batch Order Processing you must also download at the same time. If you select Other Order Processing and Actinic Export you can add additional options to pass to the program defined in the Run Program fields in the Order Processing Options tab.

NOTE: If the Run Program field is left blank in the Order Processing Options tab and you specify a program in the Options field you can run a different program for every action defined.

If you want to be emailed the results that are normally displayed in the One Stop Automation status window check Email Results to:. You can specify more than 1 email address by separating them with a semicolon (;). For example, jon@obeliskholdings.tv;warehouse@obeliskholdings.tv. You can set-up email using an existing MAPI client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) or an SMTP server. This is done by clicking the Setup Email button.

When sending an email you can decide to only send email under certain conditions. You can decide to always receive email, when there is an error with found and/or when new orders are received. You can use this feature to send a text message to your mobile to be notified of any new orders whilst you are away from the office.

You can either run the action at the defined scheduled interval or at a specific time. If you select a time you can also choose which days of the week to run the task on. This can be used to have different order processing during the week days and weekends.

Once an action has been created it can be amended by clicking the Edit button.

You can remove a task by clicking on the Delete button.

NOTE: The order in which the actions are displayed in the Actions List is no indication of the order in which they will run. If 2 actions are defined to run at almost the same time (or even the same time) they will both be run, but 1 after the other.
