Edit the Execution Schedule for a Scheduled Job

A Scheduled Job is typically executed based on defined schedule. For example, you could create a Scheduled Job that runs daily at 6:00 AM to refresh all the Calculated Attributes in your Loyalty account. The schedule can be defined to run once at a date and time in the future, or on a recurring frequency.

To edit the execution schedule for a Scheduled Job:

  1. Select Admin from the top navigation bar, then select Jobs > Scheduled Jobs from the side navigation menu. The Scheduled Jobs screen is displayed. By default, List View is selected.

  2. Search for and select the desired Scheduled Job (see Search for a Scheduled Job for more information on the available search options). The Scheduled Job Details screen is displayed, with the Definition tab selected by default.

  3. In the top-right corner of the header area of the screen, click the Edit icon. The Edit Schedule pop-up window is displayed. See below for more information on how to define a schedule that executes on demand only, that executes once, or that executes on a recurring frequency.

Execute On Demand Only

To configure a Scheduled Job to execute only when indicated by a user:

  1. Within the Edit Schedule pop-up window, toggle Enabled to On.

  2. From the Recurrence drop-down menu, select On Demand.

  3. Click Save.

See Manually Execute a Scheduled Job for more information on how to execute the Scheduled Job on demand.

Execute Only Once

To configure a Scheduled Job to execute once at a specified date / time:

  1. Within the Edit Schedule pop-up window, toggle Enabled to On.

  2. From the Recurrence drop-down menu, select Once.

  3. Click into the Execute Once On field. A calendar pop-up window is displayed. Select the desired date when you want the import to execute.

  4. Within the calendar pop-up window, click the Clock icon. Define the time when you want the export to execute.

  5. From the Time Zone menu, select the time zone to use when determining the time to execute.

  6. Click Save.

Execute on a Recurring Schedule

To configure a Scheduled Job to execute on a recurring frequency:

  1. Within the Edit Schedule pop-up window, toggle Enabled to On.

  2. From the Recurrence drop-down menu, select Repeat.

  3. Next to Schedule Composer, select an interval:

    • Hour: Select the minute past the hour.

    • Day: Select the time of day. Executing once daily is the recommended frequency for most Scheduled Jobs.

    • Week: Select the day of the week, and the time of day.

    • Month: Select the day of the month, and the time of day.

    • Year: Select the day, the month, and the time of day.

  1. As you configure the interval above, the CRON Expression field is automatically populated with the associated CRON expression. Optionally, to manually edit this expression, check Advanced Mode.

  2. Optionally, using the From and To fields, define the import schedule begin and end date. If you leave these date fields blank, the schedule will run indefinitely.

  3. From the Time Zone menu, select the time zone to use when determining the time to execute.

  4. Click Save.
