Schedule properties for a template

Schedule properties for templates determine when a job should run when it is created using the template.

Description

Run now and run according to rules for this template

Runs the job immediately after a selection list is combined with the policy in which this template is contained. If the template is part of a template rule, the job also runs according to the template rule.

If you select this option to change the schedule for an existing template in a policy, the existing associated jobs are not run immediately. This prevents you from inadvertently performing a run now operation on all jobs that were created when the policy was combined with selection lists. The jobs run only according to the rules for the template.

Run according to schedule and run according to rules for this template

Configures a schedule for a recurring job. Use the Edit Schedule Details option to set the schedule.

See Scheduling jobs.

If the template is part of a template rule, the job also runs according to the template rule.

Run only according to rules for this template

Configures the job to run based on a template rule. For example, with the After <Template A> completes, start <Template B> template rule, <Template B> will run whenever <Template A> completes.

Submit job on hold

Submits the jobs that are created using this template with an on-hold status. You should select this option if you want to submit the job, but do not want it to run until you change the job’s hold status.
