This topic relates only to OmniPage Professional. |
In OmniPage Professional, you can specify recurring jobs. Recurring jobs consist of predefined steps with predefined settings to be processed automatically at recurring intervals. Recurring jobs are created from the Batch Manager.
Normal jobs, Folder watching jobs and Mailbox watching jobs can be recurrent. For specifying recurring jobs, you have to select Recurrent… as Start Time in the Start and Stop Options panel of the Job Wizard.
The Job Recurrence panel of the Job Wizard lets you specify timing options for recurring jobs, i.e. jobs that should run repeatedly over a number of days or weeks.
