Job Scheduler

Job Scheduler is a job automation tool. It gives the user the ability to automate functions such as sending reports and notices, or maintaining the database.

Job Scheduler performs the following routine operations automatically for any DOVICO Timesheet database:

• Automatic Reporting provides the ability to have reports automatically created and e-mailed to employees and clients on a one time or recurring basis. Reports can be e-mailed in PDF, Word, Excel, RTF or CSV formats.

• Automatic Notifications provides the ability to send out e-mail notices to employees and managers regarding time waiting approval, project alerts, incomplete timesheets, etc.

• Data Maintenance provides the ability to create an automatic and scheduled Backup or Reindex of the database.

The Job Scheduler view displays all currently created jobs, their job type, their next run time and description.
