The task and its title, scheduled time, scheduled date,
and status appear in the
Tasks panel. The
status of the task is
Scheduled.
To run a scheduled task, your computer must be on at the
scheduled start time. The
SOLIDWORKS Task
Scheduler window does not need to be open. If your computer
is off at the scheduled start time, the task runs when you turn your
computer on.
At the scheduled start time, the task
begins.
If the task acts on more than one file, a subtask is generated for each
file. If you selected Backup task
files in Task
Options, a backup copy of each file is saved to a
.zip file. Then the custom
properties in each file are updated. When the task completes, the status
changes to Completed.
After the task
completes, click Completed to see the
SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler Report.
If your
backup files include Unicode file paths, use
an
extraction
application
for zip files that supports UTF-8
encoding.
