Timing Settings let the user define when a job is late. A user can set how late a job can be before warnings are triggered.

There are two types of warnings, a Warning and a Critical Warning.

The user can also define how late a critical job can be before an error is triggered. Critical jobs are defined in the Critical Settings tab.

Fields in the Timing Settings tab:

Field	Description
Inactive Job Threshold	Has not been implemented yet.
Jobs Run Late Threshold	How late a job can be before a warning or critical error is triggered. The line in Scheduler becomes yellow/red and a warning or error will be sent if email settings have been configured.
Highly Critical Jobs	Jobs that are defined to have a shorter error threshold.

Email Settings

In Email Settings a user can enter email addresses that will get emails when errors occur. The user can enter multiple email addresses in each error category. It is necessary to fill out Email Backend Service Settings to enable email sending.

Email Backend Service Settings

SMTP settings are configured in the Email Backend Service Settings tab to enable email sending.

The user can enter jobs that are critical and those jobs will be marked Critical Jobs in the Web Monitor. Critical jobs have their own time threshold, which is defined in Timing Settings.
