Scheduling document runs
Synk includes the capability to automatically run your Synk documents at specified times.
In Synk Backup, you can configure the scheduling in the top half of the "Settings" pane. In Synk Standard and Synk Professional, you can configure scheduling by selecting "Schedule" from near the top of the left pane.
Synk Professional provides several kinds of scheduling rules to fine-tune exactly when your scripts run:
- Weekly: Select the days on which the script should run, and then add the times desired to the list
- Monthly: Choose to run the script either on a specific day of the month, or on certain relative days (like "the last Thursday"). You can specify what time the run should begin on those days.
- Specific Date: Allows you to create a one-time scheduled run to run on a specific day at a specific time.
- Delay: Allows you to cause a script to run if a certain time has elapsed since the last run.
The Synk Helper must be installed for scheduled runs to function. Synk will alert you if you try to schedule a script without the Helper installed.
