Scheduled jobs:

Scheduled jobs are the jobs that are performed either at a particular time or on a recurring schedule. It allows you run scheduled jobs at various intervals. In scheduled jobs you have options like import on a specific day / week / month / year / any other custom time provided. In certain contains you can work with the default set up provided. In certain cases,in order to schedule a job you need to add some conditional check box and conditional script to that particular job in order to schedule it. Once it was done we can add the scripts as per requirements. The script runs based on the condition mentioned in the script.
