Creating and Running a Job

In ClickLink you can create ClickLink jobs and schedule them to run at a particular frequency.

Note: You can only schedule jobs for rules that operate on custom objects or the standard objects listed in the Salesforce help topic called Standard List Controllers. This is because ClickLink uses Visualforce standard list controllers. At the time of writing, the supported standard objects are:
  • Account
  • Asset
  • Campaign
  • Case
  • Contact
  • Contract
  • Idea
  • Lead
  • Opportunity
  • Order
  • Product2
  • Solution
  • User
Note:

When you schedule and run a job from the ClickLink Job object, all the records in that particular list view are selected for processing. Only 10,000 records can be processed in one job. To avoid processing records that have already been processed, we recommend that you create a list view that only lists unprocessed records.

To create jobs and schedule them:

  1. Click the ClickLink Jobs tab, or scroll to the ClickLink Jobs related list in a ClickLink rule.
  2. Click New or New ClickLink Job.
  3. Complete the fields described in Job Fields.
  4. Click Save.

To run a ClickLink Job now, click Run Now in the ClickLink job that you want to run. A confirmation message displays. Click Continue to run the job.

To schedule a ClickLink Job:

  1. Click Edit Schedule in the ClickLink job that you want to schedule.
  2. Select the frequency that you want the job to execute.
  3. Select the Preferred Start Time.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Schedule Job. A confirmation message displays.
  6. Click Continue to schedule the job.
Tip:

If an error occurs indicating that a job is already running for the source object, but you know that this is not the case, you can delete the ClickLink managed job associated with the source object. See Deleting Managed Jobs.
