Task Settings
Task scheduling rules
- Tasks scheduled to start will be executed within 10 seconds of their start time.
- Each device runs only one task at a time; additional tasks are automatically queued per device.
- Maximum concurrent tasks are limited by the license tier; free users will not run automated tasks and will remain in a "Waiting" state.
- Before each retry, the system applies a randomized delay between 5 and 60 seconds.
This dialog lets you control how tasks are retried and the execution order used by devices. Below are the options and how to use them.
Auto Retry
What it does:
- Automatically retries a failed task until it succeeds or reaches the retry limit.
How to use:
- Enable when failures are often transient (network hiccups, temporary app issues).
- Test on a small set of tasks before enabling globally.
Max Retry Count
What it does:
- Sets the maximum number of automatic retry attempts for a failed task.
How to use:
- Choose a conservative value (2–3) to avoid long retry loops, or raise it when transient failures are frequent.
- UI enforces sensible bounds (e.g., 1–10).
Random Order
What it does:
- Executes tasks in a randomized sequence per device to reduce synchronized behaviour.
How to use:
- Enable for large device pools or when you want less predictable task patterns.
Applying changes
- Changes apply immediately; the dialog shows success or error notifications.
Where to find it
- Open the Devices or Tasks page and click the Task Settings (gear) icon.
Quick tips
- Start with
Max Retry Count= 2–3 and adjust based on observed failures. - Use
Random Orderto make large-scale runs appear more natural. - Verify
Auto Retryon a small sample before broad use.
