SubSchedule Information
What Is It?
The SubSchedule Information dialog provides details about the daily copy of a selected Container job and its subschedule. To open it, right-click a subschedule in the List, Matrix, or PERT view and select SubSchedule Information.
The dialog has two areas:
- Sub-Schedule Parts: A tree at the top of the dialog that shows the Container job and the subschedule it runs. Select the Container job to display the Job Container Details tab, or select the subschedule to display the Schedule Details tab.
- A tabbed area below the tree that contains the Job Container Details and Schedule Details tabs.
Select OK to close the dialog.

Glossary
Subschedule: A schedule that runs as a child of a Container job, allowing hierarchical, nested automation where a parent schedule can start and monitor an entire child schedule.
Container Job: A job type that runs a subschedule. Container jobs enable hierarchical schedule structures and support properties and events just like standard jobs.
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.
Threshold: A numeric variable stored in the OpCon database used to control when jobs run. Jobs can be made dependent on threshold values, and OpCon events can update threshold values at run time.
Department: An organizational grouping in OpCon used to assign jobs to logical divisions. User roles can be scoped to specific departments, controlling which jobs a user can manage.
Resource: A numeric variable in OpCon representing a finite pool. Jobs can be configured to require a set number of resource units to run, limiting concurrent runs and preventing resource contention.
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.
