How to Provide Users Access to Cloud Scheduler?

To use Cloud Scheduler, Admin users must provide access to users via Navigation Role. To provide access to the cloud scheduler, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to Maintenance > Administration > User & Role Management > Navigation Role > Navigation Access. 
2. Select the desired Navigation Role from the drop-down list.
3. Narrow down the list to Cloud Scheduler and click the checkbox.
   Users with this Navigation Role now have access to Cloud Scheduler. 

Access Cloud Scheduler by navigating to Maintenance > Administration > Cloud Scheduler. Two tabs are displayed, Process Flow and Job Manager:

• Process Flow - A set of tasks defined to be executed in parallel or sequentially. A Process Flow can be scheduled to run once or can be recurring.
• Job Manager - For each schedule in the Process Flow, a Job is created. A Job executes a set of tasks.

With Cloud Scheduler you can:

• Add various tasks to a scheduled run
• Define task dependencies so all tasks are executed in parallel or sequentially
• Define, schedule, and manage Process Flows
• Automatically execute jobs based on schedules
• Track job status and individual tasks created based on the Process Flow schedule
• Notify users via e-mail regarding job and task statuses
