Schedules

The Schedules page enables you to create and manage schedules in Kapplets. A schedule denotes a plan for running Kapplets. You can run Kapplets at a predefined interval, such as every day at noon or every Friday at 4.50 pm. If the list of schedules is extensive, use the Search input field to search for the required Kapplet. This page is available for all user groups.

By default, the following table columns are displayed for each schedule.

Column	Description
Kapplet name	Name of the Kapplet.
Workspace	Name of the workspace that the Kapplet belongs to.
Next run	Time when the schedule is planned to run next time.
Schedule type	Planned interval between two consecutive runs of the schedule.
Execution time	Execution time of the last schedule run.
Status	Status of the schedule execution.
Stop date	Date when the schedule stops.
Owner	User who created the schedule.

By default, the list is arranged alphabetically by Kapplets names. You can change the order of items by clicking the required column. To remove a schedule from the list, click Remove from the context menu  of the schedule. From this menu, you can edit, pause, or resume the schedule.
