Auto Forms

Auto forms are used to automatically submit forms on regular times. Auto forms have predefined content and are triggered by the Scheduler application. To add a new auto-form, click on the button.

It is possible to force an auto-form to run immediately by clicking on the button. The defined schedule of the auto-form will in that case be ignored and the auto-form is executed immediately.
