Fields on the create or edit a schedule page
Field
Description
Scheduled Item Type
The type of the scheduled object. This field is filled automatically, and is read-only.
Scheduled Item Name
The name of the scheduled object. This field is filled automatically, and is read-only.
Schedule Name
Enter a name for the schedule.
Description
Enter a description for the schedule.
Run Parameters
When you schedule a flowchart in Campaign, all of the values set on the Override Flowchart Parameters dialog are passed to the scheduler as a single string, displayed in the Run Parameters field. The run parameters are not used by the scheduler itself. The scheduler simply passes the string back to Campaign when the flowchart is run.
Scheduler Group
If you have created one or more throttling groups, you can associate this schedule with a group to limit the number of runs of this schedule that can execute at the same time. To appear as an option in this field, a group must be created using properties on the Configuration page.
On successful completion, send a trigger
If you want runs of this schedule to send a trigger when the run completes successfully, enter the trigger text here. Other schedules can be set to listen for this trigger.
On error, send a trigger
If you want runs of this schedule to send a trigger when the run fails, enter the trigger text here. Other schedules can be set to listen for this trigger.
Select Timezone
Select the time zone to use when calculating the schedule, if you want a time zone that is different from the server time zone. See Time zone support for details.
When to start
Select one of the following options to specify when the schedule runs. The start time applies only to the first run; it defines the time when a schedule is first eligible to run. The actual first run might be after the start date if the schedule is configured to wait for a trigger, if it is a member of a throttling group, or if a recurrence pattern is in place.
*
On a date and time - Select a date and time.
*
On a trigger - Select an existing trigger or enter a new one. If you enter a new one, you must configure a schedule to send this same string on success or failure.
*
On a trigger after a date - Select an existing trigger or enter a new one, and select a date and time. If you enter a new one, you must configure a schedule to send this same string on success or failure.
Select one of the following options to specify the number of runs.
*
Only run once - The schedule runs one time. It is eligible to execute the run on the start date and time you specify.
*
Stop after n occurrences - Runs stop after the specified number of runs have occurred (whether the runs succeed or fail) or the end date arrives, whichever is first.
*
Stop by a date and time - Runs are initiated as many times as defined until the specified end date and time is reached. A run might execute after this time if the run execution has been delayed due to throttling constraints.
*
On completion of other tasks - The schedule runs only when all the other tasks selected for this option complete successfully. See Schedules that depend on completion of multiple runs.
Recurrence Pattern
Select one of the following options.
*
Use a pre-defined recurrence pattern - Select a pattern from the list. The Marketing Platform provides a set of pre-defined patterns, and you can create your own by adding properties on the Configuration page.
*
Use a simple custom recurrence pattern - Select an interval.
*
Use a cron recurrence expression - Enter a valid cron expression.
