Delayed Job List Start

This field displays the time on your workstation.

 

After you enter a start time, simply click on "OK" and when your computer's clock reaches that time, your job list will begin to run. The "Delayed Job List Start" screen remains open until the job list begins to run. If you change your mind and do not want to run the job list at the scheduled time, click on "Cancel."

 

While this screen is open, you cannot perform any other functions in your database. Therefore, when you schedule your job lists to run at a specified time you should schedule them from the workstation of a user who does not need to work in QuickFill until after the job has finished running. To run another program on your workstation while the job list screen is open, select the program from your workstation's start menu.
