|---|---|
Once | Trigger an action at a defined date and time. |
Weekly | Trigger an action at a defined time at selected days of the week, every week. |
Montly | Trigger an action at a defined time at selected days of the month, every month. |
Disabled | Disable triggers. Used when a first task triggers start of a second task., then second task has trigger: Disabled. An alternative is to set second task trigget to Once and the data to past time. |

Import tasks are defined in two steps.
Select source folders to scan for imports that have not yet been imported. By default only one folter exist, but import.config may be used to define several source folders. This can be useful when several different systems export the same kind of data.
Select what to import from these folders. The options will correspond to all installed transformers as defined in import.config.
It is possible to select multiple transforms and the order of import will be from top to bottom. Change order by using the Up and Down buttons.
...
Publish
Publish tasks are defined by checking a list. All checked publications will be processed in the order top to bottom. Change order by using the Up and Down buttons.

General tasks
In version 5.1 and later it is possible to start General tasks. Select Action tab and then General tab and select an action. By default undefined will be selected as an option in action dropdown. General task with undefined action can not be saved and it will result a validation error. That will be reminder for the user to select a proper action.
...
In import.config the different sources are defined. There are two options to differentiate between different systems exporting the same data.
Each system export to a separate folder. In this case define <Sources> to set the paths to these locations.
Each system export to the same folder, but uses different folder name. In this use the Source attribute in the TransformerSettings tag.
