Creating a Scheduled Task Workflow Project

Hi Guys,

what would be the best way to create a project where a scheduled task would occur at the same time every day. For instance, at 12:00 AM various checks are made and an email sent.
I have had a look at creating an Autostart project and using a configurable autostart component. Would this be the correct approach? Are there any examples of such a project?

Thanks,

Ben

You could set the WF to auto

You could set the WF to auto start, and set up the schedule to run, say, every hour. Then you could use a configurable auto start component, where the config. auto start model gets the current date and "checks" if it's on or around 12 AM, using perhaps the Get Current Time/Output Long DataTime String combo so you can isolate both the hour and the "AM". If it is, it starts; if it's not, it doesn't.

There's probably a better way, but that's a "quick and dirty" solution I just thought of.
