The Automation Anywhere Schedule Manager is a convenient facility that displays all task schedules that are set for your tasks.

Users with an Attended Bot Runner license can no longer create, edit, or delete schedules using the Enterprise Client. Task Bots already scheduled by the same user or a different user from the same machine will continue to be executed based on the previously defined schedule.

In addition, the Tools > Schedule Manager option is not visible, and the Manage > Schedules option is not accessible with the Attended Bot Runner license.

Viewing Task Schedules

To view your task schedules, launch the Schedule Manager in one of the following ways:

• In the main Automation Anywhere window, click the Schedule Manager tab on the lower left side.
• Or click Tools > Schedule Manager on the menu bar.

Creating, Editing, and Deleting Task Schedules

You can manage all of your task schedules by using the tabs in Schedule Manager:

• Date and Time tab
• System tab

Date and Time Schedules

Within the Date and Time tab, you can use the Day, Week, and Month tabs to work with scheduled tasks.

You can add, edit, or delete scheduled task to run by using any of these views:

• Day: The Day view displays the time and description for each scheduled task. You can add, edit, or delete scheduled tasks. Use this if you need to run your tasks daily and with more frequency.
• Week: The Week view displays the date and time of scheduled tasks for the week, and includes a description. Use this option when you want to schedule to run your task on a weekly basis.
• Month: The Month view displays the date and description of scheduled tasks for the month. Use this option when the frequency of running your tasks could be scheduled monthly.
• Date Range: In the Select Date section on the left, you can specify a date range for scheduled tasks by clicking and holding the mouse button on a start date and dragging it to the end date, highlighting the range. The Month view automatically opens to display scheduled tasks within that date range. Adding, Editing and Deleting Schedules

  You can add, edit and delete schedules for tasks on your Client machine using various options:

  • Daily (for example, every day, only weekdays, or every 2 days)
  • Weekly (specific days of the week; for example, Mondays)
  • Monthly (specific days of the month; for example, January 1 and October 5)

  • One time only
