Creating a Scheduled Task

To make some of the library management processes easier, some tasks can be scheduled to run automatically from a central location known as the 'Scheduler'. For example, you can configure your reminders to run on a regular basis, you can automatically import resources purchased on the OverDrive Marketplace and more.

To access the Scheduler window, click 'Schedule' on the right-hand side of the Management page or click 'Tools' and 'Schedule...' on the menu bar at the top of the page.

To Schedule a task, click on the Clock icon next to the task you wish to schedule.

Enter a 'Start Date', 'Start Time' and 'Frequency' and then click 'OK' to save the changes. Ensure the start date and time are in the future.

Back on the Schedule window, you can click the green arrow to start running the task through immediately, but we advise you check the settings of the task first to prevent any undesired results, as many tasks have different configurable options.

Note that the options for scheduling some tasks are locked to a specific time and day, this is because they have been locked to run out of hours so as not to slow down the performance of your library system.
