The task scheduler is used to schedule processes to be executed at a later time. While you cannot control the exact date and time a task will be executed, you can tell the system the earliest date and time that it can be run.

When a task is executed, it will be run in a background session, which means it will not lock up an existing user's interface. This also means that there is no interaction with the process while it is running, so routines that require inputs from a user need to be handled accordingly by using saved setups.

Each task is assigned a unique GUID when it is created, giving you the ability to cancel the task if necessary, before it executes. You can also mark the task as not ready for processing, which will cause the task scheduler to ignore that task until it is marked as ready.
