Creating reload tasks

You can create a reload task for an app from the apps overview page.

The creation of a new reload task can be initiated in more than one way: 
  • From the apps overview page
  • From the Associated items on the App edit page
  • From the tasks overview page

Do the following:

  1. Select Apps on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

  2. Select the app that you want to create a task for, click More actions in the far right of the action bar and select Create new reload task in the pop-up menu.

    Alternatively:

    1. Select the app that you want to create a reload task for and click Edit in the action bar.
    2. Select Tasks under Associated items.
    3. Click PCreate new in the action bar on the tasks page.

    Either way the Edit reload task page is displayed.

  3. Edit the properties.

    1. You can change the task name in the Name field. By default the name is Reload task of <App name >.
    2. App displays the app that you selected from the overview. You can change which app you are creating the task for by clicking the App field. In the dialog that opens, double-click the app that you want this task to reload.

    3. You can change the Execution properties, see descriptions below. The task is Enabledm by default. Clear the selection to disable the task.
    4. A task must have at least one trigger to be executed automatically. Manage the triggers by clicking ActionsS in the Triggers table heading and selecting one of the following:

      • Create new once-only trigger, Create new hourly trigger, Create new daily trigger, Create new weekly trigger, or Create new monthly trigger. These are trigger shortcuts and the trigger that you select is added to the table instantly. The start value for the trigger is set to 5 minutes from when it was created and the trigger is enabled.
      • Create new scheduled trigger or Create new task event trigger to create a new trigger of the selected type (see the property descriptions below). A dialog opens. Edit the trigger and click OK to close the dialog and add the trigger to the table.
      • Edit if you want to open the edit dialog for the trigger that is selected in the table. Edit the trigger and click OK to close the dialog and save your changes.
      • Delete if you want to delete the trigger that is selected in the table.
      Clicking undo (B) in the Triggers heading applies to all triggers you are currently editing.
    5. Optionally, apply tags.
    6. Optionally, apply custom properties.
  4. Click Apply to create and save the rule.
