Manage Scheduled Activities

You can view a list of scheduled entries.

Each entry is listed by name, status, and priority. A bar chart shows you an overview of activities broken down by enabled and disabled schedules.

In IBM Cognos Administration, the date and time the schedule was modified and the user who scheduled it are also listed.

You can filter the entries to display only those you want. You can choose to display only the entries with a specific status or priority, or entries of a specific type or scope.

In IBM Cognos Administration, you can also filter by the user that scheduled the entry and by the entry owner.

You can set properties, run the schedule once, disable and enable scheduled entries, modify the schedule, remove the schedule, set the priority Manage Entry Run Priority, and view the run history View the Run History for Entries. Depending on the entry, you may also be able to perform other functions, such as view outputs or event lists.

For more information on schedules, see Schedule Management.
