The add scheduled task page allows you to create a task which will send a command to selected machines on a periodic basis.  You must select the frequency that the task is to be run and the start date/time for this task.

Select the command, machine(s), frequency, start date/time, and enter any comments applicable.

	Notes:	1. *	Update sign and update movie are special commands with more information required. (see sections below)
		2. *	The in service command will only work if an out of service command had been previously sent by BackOffice.
		3. +	The machine list includes the machine's name and the machine's current status.
		4. +	You can select more than one machine (or) machine group by using Ctrl+click or Shift+click.
		5. ^	Any comments entered will be displayed on the "View>>History>>Command" page in the command column.

The Update Sign command is a special command.  When you click the submit button you are taken to a screen where you can select a message type and create messages using a simple sign editor.  You also have the option of selecting a "sign editor file" or creating a new "sign editor file" using the advanced sign editor.

For more information see the Update Sign page.

Note:

It would not make sense to send a "sign editor file" to machines periodically, unless the file was updated prior to each submission.

The Update Movie command is another special command.  When you click the submit button you are taken to a screen where you can select one of the movies listed for the current property.

Note:

It would not make sense to send a "movie file" to machines periodically, unless the file was updated prior to each submission.

Both "Update Sign" and "Update Movie" files are stored on the server in the C:\CHS-MBO\SignUpdate folder.  The format used for these files are as follows:

	Notes:	1. *	The property prefix (xxx) and the filename extension (.txt /.swf) are not shown in drop-down lists.
		2. *	The property prefix (xxx) is added by BO when creating the sign file in the advanced sign editor.
		3. *	The property prefix (xxx) should be added to the movie file before its placed in the server folder.
		4. +	The property prefix (xxx) and machine identifier (yyyy) dropped when filenames sent to machines.
