Running A Master Job

Use Master Job to run a group of Scheduler Jobs on demand without waiting for a scheduled appointment.

This is useful for processes such as month-end reporting, where the Jobs stay the same but the time you run them may vary.

Before you begin

Create and save the Jobs you want to run.

For instructions, see Creating a Job in VDM.

1. Open VDM.
2. Select Scheduler from the bottom navigation.
