FAQs​

Q: Do edits to frequencies take effect immediately?

Changes saved to frequencies in the Job Master take effect the next time the record is built or referenced. Edits to Daily table records apply only to the current instance.

Glossary​

Daily Tables: The OpCon database tables that hold the active, date-specific instances of schedules and jobs built for execution. Changes to daily tables affect only the current day's automation.

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.

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.
