Any tasks or actions carried out by Cisco Business Dashboard Lite are referred to as Jobs and are tracked in the Job Center. Jobs include both user-initiated jobs and jobs initiated automatically by the system

The Job Center lists all jobs that are currently executing or have occurred in the past on the Jobs tab, including details such as the type of job, affected devices, and the current status or whether the job completed successfully.

In addition to showing currently executing and historical jobs, the Job Center has a second tab for Schedule Profiles. A Schedule Profile represents a job that is yet to occur because it has been scheduled for a later date. Schedule Profiles include tasks that will run only once, as well as tasks that have been defined to run periodically.

The Schedule Profiles tab does not just allow you to view the profiles that have been defined. You can also create new profiles and edit or delete existing profiles. You can also search for all the jobs that have been created by a profile.

1. In the Home window, click the Job Center icon on the top right corner of the global tool bar. Select Schedule Profiles.

5. Depending on the job type selected, additional information may be required. If so, additional fields will be displayed underneath the Schedule section of the form. Complete these fields as required.

6. When you are satisfied with the configuration, click Save. To exit without creating a profile, click Cancel.
