Schedule a Job¶
After a workflow is saved as a Job, you can run it automatically.
GeoJibe does not use cron expressions. Convert Jobs use hourly, daily, or weekly. Sync Jobs use a minutes interval.
Before you start¶
Create the Job first. See Save a workflow as a Job.
Upload → Download one-offs cannot be scheduled. The Source and Destination must be saved connections.
1. Open the Job¶
From Jobs, click Edit, or set the schedule when you first click Save as Job.
2. Choose a schedule¶
For an ordinary conversion Job:
| Repeat | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Hourly | Every hour, at a chosen minute |
| Daily | Every day at a chosen time |
| Weekly | One weekday at a chosen time |
Set Hour, Minute, and Weekday as shown.
For QFieldCloud or Mergin Maps, the schedule is Every N minutes (1–1440). Each tick is one sync cycle. See Sync QFieldCloud with PostGIS.
3. Choose a timezone¶
Pick an IANA timezone such as UTC or America/New_York. The list includes your browser's zone.
4. Enable¶
Check Enable schedule.
A disabled Job keeps its definition. Run Now still works. Scheduling stays off until you enable it.
On the Jobs list, use Enable / Disable.
5. Confirm with Run Now¶
Click Run Now once to make sure the workflow succeeds, then leave the schedule enabled.
History¶
Open Runs to see started time, status, duration, and trigger (manual, scheduled, or retry).
Failed runs can be Retry'd. That replays the definition from the failed run.
If a run is already in progress, a second start is skipped (This Job is already running.).
