▪An email job is typically an invitation or reminder job as defined in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer Server - Admin Email activity.

▪A scheduled email task is a schedule for an email job that can contain one or more batches. An email job can contain multiple tasks. For example, to send batches of emails to the US on one schedule and batches of email to Canada on another schedule, you create two scheduled email tasks.

▪An email task is either a scheduled email task or a Send now task.

▪An email batch is a single set of emails to send at a specific time. An email task can contain a single or multiple batches. A recurrence interval must be defined for multiple batches in a single task. A task is required when you want to schedule a batch for a specific time.

▪The UNICOM Intelligence Email Scheduling Wizard is controlled by the CreateSchedule.mdd script file, and opens in a separate browser window. The script file gathers information from the user and writes the schedule to the SQL scheduling tables. For more information, see SQL scheduling tables. Interview data is not used or stored. By default, the script file assumes that there is only one scheduled task per email job. The interview firsts checks if a scheduled task exists for the job. If a task exists, the details are used to populate the interview page. If a task does not exist, the interview page is populated with default values.

▪The scheduled job is updated when the interview completes.

▪Batches that proceed the scheduled job use the new schedule’s parameters.
