Schedules
The Schedules page in NDWeb is the central place to create, view, enable, disable, and delete named schedules. A schedule is a name, a cron expression, and a timezone. Once created, it can be attached to sync operations, run commands, and backup configuration as a recurring cadence.
Schedule list
Section titled “Schedule list”Each row in the table shows:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The schedule’s unique name within the organization. |
| Cron | The 5-field cron expression defining the cadence. |
| Timezone | The IANA timezone the cron expression is evaluated in. |
| Enabled | Toggle to enable or disable the entire schedule. Disabling pauses all operations attached to it. |
Creating a schedule
Section titled “Creating a schedule”Click New Schedule (top-right). Fill in:
- Name — must be unique within the organization.
- Cron expression — standard 5-field format. A live preview shows the next scheduled time as you type.
- Timezone — select from the IANA timezone list.
Click Save to create the schedule.
Editing a schedule
Section titled “Editing a schedule”Click a schedule’s name (or the … menu → Edit) to open the edit form. You can change the cron expression and timezone; the name cannot be changed after creation. Updates take effect on the next scheduled tick.
Enabling and disabling
Section titled “Enabling and disabling”Use the toggle on the row to pause or resume a schedule. Disabling suspends every recurring task attached to it without deleting any configuration. Re-enable to resume.
Deleting a schedule
Section titled “Deleting a schedule”Open the … menu → Delete. A schedule can only be deleted when no scheduled tasks reference it. Remove those tasks from the Scheduled Specs tab on the Tasks page first.
Attaching a schedule to an operation
Section titled “Attaching a schedule to an operation”Schedules are selected from a dropdown when you:
- Trigger a sync on the Synchronize page.
- Run a command on the Run page.
- Edit the S3 configuration on the Backups page.
