Scheduler (Add Scheduler)

Overview

The Add Scheduler section allows administrators to automate various actions within the application. A scheduler can be configured to execute a specific action at a predefined date and time without requiring manual intervention.

Schedulers are commonly used to automatically Enable or Disable application content, categories, products, packages, and other supported modules.

Add Schedule

To create a new scheduler:

1. Navigate to Modules → Schedulers → Add.
2. Select the Type of scheduler.
3. Choose the required Category or supported item.
4. Configure the scheduler action.
5. Select the Start Date & Time.
6. Select the End Date & Time (if required).
7. Click Submit to save the scheduler.

Scheduler Configuration

The Add Scheduler page contains the following options:

Scheduler Actions

The scheduler supports the following actions:

Enable

Automatically enables the selected content, making it available according to the configured schedule.

Disable

Automatically disables the selected content after the scheduled time.

Reverse Action

The Reverse Action option automatically performs the opposite action once the scheduled duration is completed.

For example:

• If the scheduler Enables a category, the Reverse Action will automatically Disable it after the configured end time.
• Similarly, if the scheduler Disables a category, the Reverse Action can automatically Enable it again.

Schedule Type

Administrators can choose how the scheduler should execute.

Single Schedule

Executes the configured action only once at the specified date and time.

Double Schedule

Allows administrators to configure both a Start and End schedule, enabling automatic execution of an action followed by its reverse action if configured.

Manage Schedulers

Administrators can:

• Create new schedulers.
• Schedule automatic Enable or Disable actions.
• Configure Reverse Actions.
• Set Start and End execution times.
• Automate repetitive tasks without manual intervention.

Best Practices

• Verify the selected category before creating a scheduler.
• Double-check the Start and End date/time.
• Use Reverse Action when content needs to be automatically restored.
• Use Single Schedule for one-time tasks.
• Use Double Schedule for temporary activations or deactivations.

Important:
After configuring the scheduler, click the Submit button to save it. Once the scheduled time is reached, the configured action will be executed automatically. If Reverse Action is enabled, the system will automatically perform the opposite action at the scheduled end time.
