Error
What if a Task Misses its Start Time?
Tasks scheduled in maxView Storage Manager include an automatic 30-minute grace period following
their start time, to accommodate temporary interruptions. For instance, if there's a brief power outage
a task will run once normal conditions resume, if the interruption lasts no longer than 30 minutes past
the scheduled start time.
If a task misses its start time, it must be rescheduled. For instructions, see
Modifying a Task
on page
71.
If a recurring task misses its start time, it is automatically rescheduled to run at the next scheduled
interval.
Modifying a Task
If the requirements for a scheduled task change, you can use maxView Storage Manager to modify the
task. You can reschedule a task for a different date or time; change it from recurring to non-recurring;
and modify the task description that appears in the Task Log. Creating a custom task description makes
it easier to find the task in the task list.
To modify a scheduled task:
1. In the Task Log, single-click the task you want to modify.
2. When the Task Log Detail window opens, click Modify.
