Some tasks in the task scheduler are default, i.e. are automatically configured on the platform. To learn about them, go to Default tasks.

Description
Description of the task scheduling.

Type
Type of task to be scheduled. Available types:

• Document expiration: used when there is a need to find out whether documents have already expired, if so, the documents will expire after a document expiration task is performed.
• Task expiration: used when there is a need to notify users that the deadline for a workflow process activity is about to expire. If there are tasks to expire, a notification is sent to the users that have been configured to receive the expiration notification in that process.

• Delayed tasks: used when there is a need to find out whether the deadline for a workflow process activity has already expired; if there are any late tasks, a notification is sent to the users who have been configured to receive delay notifications in that process.

• Automatic flow: used to register an alternative flow in the workflow process so that, when a user does not perform a task within the deadline set, the request is automatically transferred to the alternative flow.
• Document indexation: used to index documents that have not yet been indexed.
• Recalculate volume: used to recalculate the physical size of the registered volumes. Attention: for a proper quota control, carrying out this task is mandatory.
• Compress finished requests: used to compress the form records linked to finished processes. After finishing the process, only the latest version of the form records are saved since the previous versions are deleted to enhance the performance of the platform.
• Convert documents (internal viewer): used to convert files from a given folder to ones in PDF format in the stipulated period so that they can be viewed internally from the internal viewer that uses the Open Office engine. If the company uses the new document viewer, this scheduling does not apply.
• Clear document temporary files: used to remove temporary files generated by fluig in the "temp" folder of the operating system in the stipulated period. This procedure also occurs when the platform server is stopped; however, once the scheduling is configured, you can reduce the length of time to delete the files, even with the platform up and running, in order to free up disk space on the server.
• Process EAI messages: used to process the sending and receiving of the pending messages on the EAI server. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be at least once a day.
• Cancel expired enrollments in classes: used to cancel the enrollments whose deadline for completion in classes or subjects expired, restricting improper access to them. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be once a day, preferably at the end of the day.
• Cancel expired enrollments in training courses: used to cancel the enrollments that exceeded the deadline for completion in training courses or learning tracks, restricting improper access to them. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be once a day, preferably at the end of the day.
• Notify approval for a pending enrollment request: used to send the ones in charge a notification about enrollment requests pending approval. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be once a day, preferably at the end of the day.
• Notify accounts expiration: used to send notifications about accounts expiration to the respective people in charge, according to the tolerance set for each account. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be once a day, preferably at the end of the day.
• End expired topics: used to end topics that exceeded the deadline for execution. This task is preconfigured to create a company and it is recommended that the frequency of execution should be once a day, preferably at the end of the day.
• Process registration requests: used for processing and implementing the registration requests that have been approved for the classes/course subjects or training courses/tracks. This task is preset as you create a company, its frequency of execution being every two minutes.
•  Clearing notifications: used to delete all the notifications of all users of the company - except for those that require an action by the user, such as requests to join communities, for example - according to the defined periodicity.
• Metrics monitor: used to send an alert notification to administrators when some runtime internal metric of components and routines exceeds the time set as borderline acceptable. The limit is set in milliseconds.

Start by documents
How to start document indexation. Available options:

• Oldest;
• Newest.

This field is only displayed when the task type selected is "Document indexation" or "Convert documents (internal viewer)".

Conversion type
Type of document conversion to be performed. Available options:

• All;
• Non-converted ones only.

This field is only displayed when the task type selected is "Convert documents (internal viewer)"

Limit
Limit runtime of the components from which an alert notification is sent. This field is only displayed when the task type selected is "Metrics monitor"

Dataset
Dataset for which the task scheduling synchronization will be created. This field is only displayed when the task type selected is "Dataset synchronization”.

Run only after
Time from which the task should be performed.

Frequency
Frequency at which the task should be performed. Available options:

• Daily: in this option you can configure whether the task is performed one or more times a day, or even if they are performed with an interval of days. It is possible to configure it in four ways:

- every "X" minutes: in this option, the frequency will be according to the interval of minutes specified. Note: the minutes should be divisible by 60 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30) and it is only possible to configure the time in the standard time field; the minutes cannot be configured.

- every "X" hours: in this option, the frequency will be according to the hours specified.

- every "X" days: in this option, the task will be performed according to the days specified and at the standard time entered.

- all days of the week: in this option, the task will be performed all days of the week at the standard time entered. Note: the frequency calculation is based on the standard time entered. By entering 00:00, the next valid frequency after the current time will be calculated.

• Monthly: in this option, you can configure whether the task will be performed on a specific date of the month. It is possible to configure it in two ways:

- every day "X" of each month: in this option, the task will be carried out on the specified day of each month and at the standard time entered.

- on a day of one week: in this option, the task will be carried out on a specific day of one of the weeks of the month, and at the standard time entered.
