Are there instructions on how to use the Whitelist/Blacklist functionality?
All i have found is “Filter days allow for whitelisting/blacklisting specific days for scheduled jobs. Enter one date (mm/dd/yyyy) or date range (mm/dd/yyy-mm/dd/yyyy) per row. Example dates include: 01/01/2024, 01/02/2024-01/03/2024”
ReportWORQ jobs are still run on the frequency you want using the scheduler, but we’ve added a new feature to whitelist or blacklist certain days for scheduled jobs.
After creating a new scheduled job, by default there’s no blacklist/whitelist enabled. By clicking on “not specified…” under “Date Filters”, you can add those days to filter on.
First, select the specific mode desire; “Whitelist” or “Blacklist”. The whitelist/blacklist can then support a list of specific dates or date ranges.
By using the “Blacklist”, you can exclude days from running on the schedule. E.g., you could set up the schedule to run a job every Tuesday, but if I add today to that blacklist (5/7/2024), the job won’t actually run today. It would continue to run on future Tuesdays, though (such as 5/14/2024).
The “Whitelist” works by only running the job on those days. Using the same example as above, if a job was scheduled to run every Tuesday, and I added today to the whitelist (5/7/2024), the job would run today, and only today. It wouldn’t run next Tuesday, or any following Tuesday.
