Scheduled Workflow Rules

Scheduled rules are automatically executed by Web Central at predefined time intervals, one or more times. These rules typically perform either periodic business logic (such as generating quarterly reports or sending date-sensitive reminders), or maintenance operations (such as deleting temporary files).

Scheduled rules cannot be called from views, and should not have any input or output parameters unless the input parameter is a constant. Any data that is not a constant must be retrieved from the database or from the Web Central configuration.

Web Central provides special administrative views that can be used to schedule and monitor scheduled rules.
