To create a task in scheduled tasks container, follow the steps:
Determine task name and identifier. The title of the dialog box corresponds to the selected task type, for example, cube calculation, model execution, and so on.
Determine task execution frequency. Various execution frequency types can be set up for task: once, daily, weekly, monthly, and also if a system or custom event occurs.
Set up task object and determine values of its parameters.
NOTE. Setting of schedule, condition and result is optional and can be performed depending on task requirements.
After the task has been created, operations with task and action under task objects will be available.
