Event scheduling
You can use various tools for scheduling actions or tasks to happen in the future.
- Maintenance schedules
- Changes to the CMDB can be managed through the Maintenance Schedules plugin, which enables changes to be proposed and viewed through a timeline.
- On-call rotation
- The Group On-Call Rotation plugin enables a schedule to be defined to determine what users are primary contacts during particular hours of the day.
- Scheduled reports
- Once you define reports, you can schedule them for emailing at a specific time, or at regular intervals, using the reporting interface.
- Scheduled workflows
- Workflows provide a robust system for automating advanced multi-step processes. Workflows are triggered by conditions, like business rules, or they can be scheduled for a particular time/recurring schedule, like scheduled jobs.
- Scheduled jobs
- Scheduled jobs are scripts you can specify should automatically generate at a specific date and time, or on a repeating basis.
