Set Schedule Priority

In the Schedule workspace, you can manage schedule priority in the queue. For example, if two schedules are set to start at the same time and one schedule has a high priority, that schedule will be run first.

To set schedule priority:

1. In Automation Desk, click Schedule in the left navigation.
2. Click the Find button to find specific schedules in the workspace or search for schedules based on the Event Type, Event Name, Schedule Name, Recurrence Pattern, Update Source, Enable Flag, or Schedule Group. You can use the wildcard "*" when searching based on the Event Name and Schedule Name.
   
3. Click the schedule whose priority you wish to change and click Set Priority.
   You see the red exclamation point in the Priority column.
   
4. To quickly identify which schedules have higher priority, group the schedules by the Priority column by dragging the Priority column heading to the Drag a column here to group area. To ungroup the schedules, click the X in the Priority column heading.
   
5. To change the priority back to normal, click to select the schedule and click Set Priority again.
   The red exclamation point is removed and the schedule now has normal priority.
6. Click the Refresh button to see that all the schedules now have normal priority.
