Schedules
When each job runs without anybody starting it. Every one of these fires in the background as the person who created it, so it may take as long as it takes — which is the point for a large file read off a drive, or a folder somebody drops one into every morning. "State" says whether it is waiting, running, overdue or paused; overdue for long means the API is not running the scheduler.

The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.
| Field | Type | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Job required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| Name | Text | ||
| What it is for | Long text | ||
| Cadence | Choice | once, every_15_min, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, on_demand | |
| At | Text | Time of day, in the zone below. | |
| Time zone | Text | e.g. Asia/Riyadh. Empty means UTC — and 02:00 UTC in Riyadh is 05:00. | |
| When (a one-off) | Date and time | ||
| Day of week | Number | 0 is Sunday. | |
| Day of month | Number | 31 in a 30-day month is that month’s last day, not the 1st of the next. | |
| Rehearse only | Yes or no | ||
| Active | Yes or no |

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
