In Automation Desk, you can submit an event to run at any time, with or without overrides. You can also schedule events to run at a specific date and time. You can submit events from the Events workspace or the Monitor workspace.

Several event types, including Data Export, Data Upload, Issuer Relationship Builder, and Data Archive events can also be submitted with the special Ad Hoc option that allows one time activation of these events with the dependencies, time limits, and notifications ignored. These events may be submitted from the Events, Jobs, Schedule, or Monitor workspaces. The primary purpose of the Ad Hoc option is to test newly designed Uploaders and Exporters to ensure they are working correctly.

Data Upload event types require overrides to be submitted for processing.
