The Task Manager is a plug-in that allows you to execute QuantShare scripts based on different events. You can for example create a script that updates a database field once a week or a script that parses CSV files each time new files are added to a specific directory. To open the "Task Manager", select "Tools" then "Task Manager". Create a New Task In the Task Manager form, click on "Click here to add a task". You can create four different types of tasks. - The "Time based task" creates tasks that are executed at a specified interval. - The "App based task" creates tasks that are executed when an application event occurs. - The "File based task" creates tasks that are executed when a file or directory is modified. - The "Idle based task" creates tasks that are executed when your operating system become idle for a specific period. Once you select the appropriate tab: - Click on "Add" button in the "Scripts to be executed" panel. - Add the scripts that you want to execute. - Type the task name - Select "Execute even if application is not loaded" to automatically starts the application when the task is about to be executed (Works only with "Time based task"). - Click on "Add" to save the task After a task is created, a new line appears in the "Task Manager" form. Right click on that line to display a menu. In this menu, you can see the task stats, clear them, execute/stop task and reload all tasks. To update a task, click on "Update" icon on the corresponding task row. To remove a task, click on "Delete" icon on the corresponding task row.
