FAQs​

Q: Why would you copy job events instead of creating a new one?

Copying job events is useful when you want to reuse an existing configuration as a starting point. All settings from the original are duplicated, and you can then modify the copy as needed.

Q: Does copying job events require a new unique name?

Yes. The copy must be saved with a new unique name to distinguish it from the original job events record.

Glossary​

Frequency: A set of rules that defines when a job or schedule is eligible to run, based on calendar rules, day-of-week settings, period offsets, and other timing criteria.

Schedule: A named container for jobs in OpCon, built for a specific date to create that day's automation. Schedules define build settings, frequencies, and the jobs that run within them.

Job: The fundamental unit of work in OpCon. A job defines what to run, on which machine, when to start, and what conditions must be met. Job results are tracked and can trigger events and notifications.
