To schedule a ControlPoint operation:
1After initiating and specifying the parameters for a ControlPoint operation, open the Schedule section.
Note that, for some ControlPoint operations that are likely to be scheduled for purposes of compliance with corporate or regulatory policy, this section is labeled Enforce Policy.
2Enter a Job Name and Description.
TIP: Choose a brief but descriptive name that uniquely identifies the job. This will make it easier for you to identify it in the Schedule Monitor and Scheduled Jobs Report. If you choose to have the output posted to a SharePoint document library, the Job Name will also be used as the document Title.
3If you want the job to be active, make sure the Active box is checked.
NOTE: Once a scheduled job has been added, it can be activated or deactivated as needed.
4If you want to change the Output File Name, overwrite the default name.
CAUTION: The same default Output File Name is used for every action or analysis of a particular type. For example, whenever you schedule a Site Permissions by Site analysis, the default output file name is xcrRightsBySite, regardless of its scope, or who requested it. It is possible to have more than one job with the same output file name. Keep in mind, however, if more than one job with exactly the same output file name is posted to the same document library, an existing document will be overwritten with a more recent document with the same name.
5For ControlPoint analyses only:
a) If you want the date and time that the job is run to be appended to the file name, click the Include Date Time stamp in the file name box. (This will enable you to retain a historical record of analysis results that may be used as a record of compliance with policies or regulations.)
b)If different than the default, select an Output Type from the drop-down.
NOTE: If you choose CSV, output will be in the form of raw analysis data that can be imported into another program for further examination.
6Complete the Schedule Details as follows:
