Option
Description
Daily
Select this option to create a ticket every day or in a regular interval of less than a week.
- Select Daily.
- In the Time field, select or enter the time to create the ticket.
- In the Run every field, select or enter the frequency at which the ticket is created (in days).
The following considerations apply when you configure a ticket schedule to recur daily:
(2021 Release 01) If you select Daily in the Recurrence Pattern section, then the Ticket Scheduler runs every n days (where n is either greater than or equal to 1). The ticket schedule recurs every nth day starting from the date when you scheduled it to run.
- (2021 Release 01) If you select Daily in the Recurrence Pattern section, then the outcome depends on your specifications, as follows:
- If you select a future date in the Start Date field, then the Ticket Scheduler runs on the future date.
- If you select a past date in the Start Date field, then the Ticket Scheduler runs on the corresponding future date.
If you select the current date in the Start Date field, and if you select a past time in the Time field, then the Ticket Scheduler runs on the corresponding future date.
Consider the following three scenarios to understand the recurrence of ticket schedule:In all these scenarios, the Ticket Scheduler first runs on April 17 at 4:00 P.M., and subsequently at 4:00 P.M. on the following days:
- April 20
- April 23
- April 26
- April 29
If you select the current date in the Start Date field, and if you select a future time in the Time field, then the Ticket Scheduler runs on the current date.
(2021 Release 01) When you upgrade to Track-It! 2021 Release 01 from Track-It! 2020 Release 03 and earlier, the ticket schedules that are configured to recur daily are recalculated to follow the updated recurrence pattern.
