Automate and Batch Tasks and Jobs

• Program and batch paths
  
  • Be aware when you set the directory paths.
  • You do not want to run your batch against the wrong files.
  • The program defaults to only accept certain input and work directories. However, this can be turned off.
  
  
  
  
• Program and batch filters
  
  • "Order of execution" is defined by the order of filters and modules:
    • Files that match the first listed pattern/modules are processed in first "round".
    • Files that match the second listed pattern/modules are processed in second "round".
    • ... etc.
  
  
  
  
• Program import and export
  
  • Various controls support both import and export of data.
  
  
  
  
• Batch progress
  
  • Follow progress as an automation project is executing.
