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.

  • Event registry
    You can use events to schedule actions or tasks to occur when conditions are fulfilled.

  • Set an inactivity monitor
    You can set an inactivity monitor that triggers an event for a task record when the task has been inactive for a certain amount of time.
