Schedules

Hub can regularly perform the same action to a Space via Job Schedules.

Spaces which are deployed with Bi-Directional Sync automatically have a Schedule added.

Schedules can be added to the entirety of a Space. It is also possible to schedule more granular activities within a Space for some workflow types, E.G. regular Hydration of an individual file or directory.

Policy-based Tiering has different configuration options to other workflow types. See the Policies page for more details.
