3.4. Batch operation groups

Batch Operations groups are composed of manual BOs that execute one after the other and can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly overnight.

The Data management section provides a BO group menu:

It provides a table of BO groups with the following columns per each BO group row:

·        Name: unique for each one

·        Description: This field is optional

·        Enabled: if it is already activated (green tick) or not (empty=disabled)

·        Schedule: it can be daily, weekly or monthly

Above the table of BO groups, the system displays the ‘New BO group’ button.
