What Is It?
The Summarize Schedule Build skill displays a summary of the schedule build log for a specified daily schedule and date. The summary reports the build status, identifies which jobs were included or excluded, and provides a link to the full log file. Use this skill in Otto when you want to confirm how a schedule was built for a given day without opening the log file manually.
The summary indicates whether the build is Build on hold or Build released, and the formatted response includes bold headings for the schedule name, date, whether the build overwrote an existing build, the jobs included, and the jobs excluded.
Required Privileges
To use this skill, you must have the View Schedule Build Log privilege, in addition to the privileges required to use Otto. Administrators and roles with all function privileges also have access.

How to Use It
To summarize a schedule build, complete the following steps:
- Open Otto in Solution Manager.
- Ask Otto to summarize the schedule build, supplying the schedule name and the date. For example:
Summarize the schedule build for the SMAUtility schedule on 2024-10-31. - Review the summary that Otto returns, including the build status and the jobs included or excluded.
- Select View Log File Details to open the full build log file.
Result: Otto returns a summary of the schedule build for the specified schedule and date and provides a link to the full log file. If no build log file exists for that schedule and date, Otto reports that no build log files were found.
