Preview All Occurrences of a Scheduled Task

You can preview the scheduled task occurrences for a specific day. When you configure a task to repeat on a specific day, the application tracks each occurrence of the task. For example, if a task repeats every 10 minutes for half an hour, the preview shows three occurrences. Use this procedure to plan for a future date or to view the results of tasks that were scheduled on a specific past date.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Schedule dialog, click the Schedule Editor tab to configure the list of scheduled items for the entire period of validity.
2. Click the Preview tab. If your task repeats, multiple occurrences on the same day appear on the Preview tab.
3. On the Preview tab:
   1. In the Preview Date field, select a date in the valid range for the schedule.
   2. From the All Nodes drop-down list, select All Nodes or a specific Orchestrator touchpoint.
   3. Select the Current or Archived options.
   4. Click Refresh.

   The application evaluates calendar rules and the validity period that is associated with tasks before it lists the appropriate occurrences.

   • When you select a past date, the Preview tab includes tasks that were started, their state, their start time, and their end time.
   • When you select the current date, the Preview tab indicates whether occurrences have started and their start time, state, and end time.
   • When you select a future date, the Preview tab includes all occurrences for the selected date if the schedule is active on the selected touchpoint.
4. Double-click an occurrence to view a read-only Properties pane that shows the task configuration settings.
5. Click the Schedule Editor tab to make changes to the schedule.
6. Click Validity to set the valid date range for the entire schedule.
7. Click Activate to initiate your scheduled items.
8. Click Check In and then close the Schedule dialog.
9. Monitor scheduled items on the Operations tab.
