Schedule a Task

If you have a created a task and you want it to run more than once on a set schedule, you can set it up to repeat the run on prescribed settings. Tasks are always scheduled based on the server's local timezone.

When Workflow is running a task, it uses default log locations and working data directories to store the files as they are built. If you need to change the directories, refer to Task Configuration for instructions.
