Job Manager (Complete Guide)


Jobs are tasks that run automatically, nightly. These jobs include but are not limited to Mileposts Nightly Maintenance, Purges, Student Importers per School and Dynamic List updates. Milepost kicks these jobs off but they are run in the server and database where the information resides.
