The Task Manager handles repetitive jobs for you: emails, imports, synchronizations and starting processes.
Many jobs are the same every time: importing a file every night, sending a report every week, opening a work order when an alarm comes in. The CMDBuild Task Manager does them for you, on a set schedule or when an event occurs.
A few examples
Read incoming emails
Emails received in a dedicated mailbox are archived along with their attachments and can start a process, for example a work order when an alarm comes in.
Send scheduled emails
Messages sent automatically at regular intervals, for example every week, even with an attached report containing up-to-date CMDB data.
Import and export files
CSV, XLS and XLSX files loaded or generated automatically, for example every night, using the import and export templates you have already defined.
Synchronize data
Information held in external databases, such as those of other business applications, is read and aligned in the CMDB with no manual work.
Update floor plans and BIM
DWG floor plans and IFC BIM models are imported periodically, so maps and models stay in line with the actual buildings.
Start recurring processes
Activities that recur on a fixed schedule, such as the annual inventory, start on their own on the set date and reach the people who have to carry them out.
Automated tasks also run the processing of the waterWAY Service Bus. For reports and templates, see Reporting and Data import and export.
Under control
Tasks are configured in the Administration Module and monitored from a single panel:
Setup through a simple step-by-step wizard
Execution on a set schedule or when an event occurs
A panel showing the status of each task
Start, pause, edit and delete tasks from the panel
