  Job Management allows you to manage tasks for clients and the server efficiently.

--Within the ‘Within a time period’ option, you can also select the ‘Check start condition before execution’ setting. This option ensures that a job’s start condition is checked again immediately before it is executed. The client monitors the start conditions of all known jobs. As soon as the defined start condition is met, the relevant job is added to the execution queue.
--However, the actual execution of the job may be delayed, for example due to jobs already running or other system activities. If the situation changes during the waiting period such that the original start condition is no longer met before the actual execution, the job will not be executed if this option is activated.

  In the start conditions “Start interval” and “Time window,” there is the option “Start at a random time within the time window.” We recommend that you use this start condition. This ensures that the scan data is sent to the server at different times. If a large amount of scan data is sent at the same time, the import may be delayed.
