As an admin at the Wyn Enterprise portal, you can create and manage scheduled tasks using Schedule Templates. Schedule templates allow you to specify a recurring interval at which to run the task. Each schedule has a name, an optional description, and a list of roles that defines which users have permission to assign reports to it.

Once you add a shared schedule, all users in each role with the schedule permission can assign tasks to run on it.

To Add a New Template

1. On the Admin Portal, navigate to Configuration Settings >> Schedule Templates and click Add Template.

   

2. Add a Template Name, select the Document Type (Datasource, Dataset, Cached Model, Report, or Dashboard) and give a description of the template. Click Create Template button to create the template.

   

3. New template is added to the Schedule Templates section where you can edit the basic information, recurrence, and delivery settings of the template.

To Edit a Schedule Template

1. On the Admin Portal, navigate to the Schedule Templates section and select a scheduled template to edit. The template editor will open on the right side of the page.

   

   Note: Schedule Templates settings for Datasource, Dataset, and Cached Models (Data Models) vary from the settings for Reports and Dashboards.

2. Under the Basic Information tab, you can modify the following properties of the scheduled template;

   Assign Permission - Select the checkbox next to each role to allow users to schedule tasks.
