System Data Tab

This tab allows you to schedule when background tasks run. Each of these tasks runs independently. For performance reasons, the tasks should be scheduled to run during the systems down time. In addition, they should be spaced out so that they do not run at the same time. Generally, each task runs in less than five minutes. Therefore, they do not need to be spread out significantly.

To see this tab, you must be assigned the role of National Supervisor. See Identity Management for more information on roles.
