Introduction

This wiki page aims to show how to manage tasks by using Syncope console.

• Notification task
  1. Notifications sent on events happened.
  2. Notifications to be sent are configured as described at Notification Management.
• Scheduled task
  1. Custom jobs to be performed manually or automatically.
• Synchronization task
  1. Synchronizations (from external resources to Syncope) to be performed manually or automatically.
• Push task (>= 1.2.0 only)
  
  1. Synchronizations (from Syncope to external resources) to be performed manually or automatically.
