Four methods are available for displaying forecasting information on time-based triggers (Time, Cron, and Temporary) and the tasks they launch:
- Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecast Calendar displays a calendar showing tasks scheduled to run based on Time, Cron, and Temporary triggers. Where data is available, the estimated end time for each task also is calculated and displayed. Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecasts
- Forecasts List displays a sequential list of the tasks shown in the Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecast Calendar. Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Next
- Next Scheduled Time field in Time, Cron, and Temporary trigger Details identifies the next time a trigger will launch its task(s).
- Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#List List Qualifying Times button in Time and Cron triggers Details displays a list of the next 30 qualifying dates and times.
...
For enabled Time, Temporary, and Cron triggers where forecasting has been specified, Universal Controller writes an entry to the Forecast Calendar (and the Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecasts Forecasts List) for each time that a trigger task is scheduled to run within the next N days, where N is the forecast period specified in the Forecast Period in Days Universal Controller system property.
To display the Forecast Calendar, from the Automation Center navigation pane select Triggers > Forecast Calendar.
To display Details about an entry in the Forecast Calendar, click the entry. A Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecast Details pop-up displays. (You also can display Forecast Details by clicking an entry in the Displaying Trigger Forecast Information#Forecasts Forecasts List.)
