Configuring the Message Schedules Entity

To support the Message Schedule functionality, an administrator must configure the Message Scheduling default options in the Message Schedules entity. Follow these steps to enable support for message scheduling:

1. Open the Message Schedules record from the Entities service.
2. The Entities service is found under the Messaging Administration or Framework application.
3. Click the Configuration > Attributes tab.
4. Configure the following attributes, as necessary:
   • ScheduledViewProcessFlow: This is the name of the Process Flow that handles auto-execution of the message run for the schedule Messages. By default, this attribute is set to Execute Message Schedule, which is the Process Flow provided by Aptify. If you have created your own Process Flow to handle Message Scheduling, edit this attribute to use that Process Flow's name.
   • ScheduledViewScheduledTaskService: This is the name of the Scheduled Task Service that will be used to save Scheduled Tasks records generated by message scheduling. By default, this attribute is set to Remote Scheduler, which is the Scheduled Task Service that allows users without elevated permissions to save Scheduled Tasks records. After the initial save, the Remote Scheduler creates a Process Flow Runs record to use the Application Server to convert the Scheduled Task Service to the standard Windows Scheduler and consequently create the Windows Scheduled Task on the Application Server.
   • ScheduledViewScheduledTaskCategory: This is the name of the Scheduled Task Category that will be assigned to all Scheduled Tasks created by Message Scheduling. By default, this attribute is set to Scheduled Messages. If you have created your own Scheduled Task Categories record and want to use it as the default category for Message Scheduling, enter that category's name as the attribute value.

   • ScheduledViewApplicationServer: This is the name of the Application Server on your network that will execute the message schedules based on the information stored in the Scheduled Tasks record. You must enter the name of an installed Application Server in order to support Message Scheduling. This Application Server must have a default Job Account User Name and Password.
