Hi
For retrieving daily backups from XOS encoder devices I need 260 scheduled tasks for each XOS device.
I made an Excel with all the needed information to make the scheduled task per device.
I was wondering if anybody already automatically made scheduled tasks based on a list from Excel?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Justien

I was also wondering, what is the reason that you need 260 separate tasks, one for each individual device? If all of them need a daily back-up, it is not fine to just create one scheduled task that then starts an automation to iterate across all devices to take a back-up?

Good suggestion! We’re gonna take a look at it again in our team if we could make that work.
Hi
Thank you all for the help, it indeed seems to work fine in the following way of using one scheduled task that calls an automation script that iterates across all the devices of a CI Type that then again calls the subscript that generates the actual backups. We are going to use two scheduled tasks depending on the view because the devices are running on two different DMAs, but compared to 260 tasks in the beginning, this seems acceptable to me. 😉
