What Is the Purpose of Schedules?

The purpose of schedules is to accomplish recurrent tasks on a regular interval in order to free the Coveo administrator from having to perform these basic operations manually. In other words, schedules maintain the index in its optimal state and let the Coveo administrator focus on more important duties.

Two types of schedules exist:

• Source schedules automatically perform a configurable action on a source (see Creating or Modifying a Source Schedule).

• System schedules perform maintenance tasks such as updating document rating or security cache (see Modifying System Schedules).
