Edit data extraction jobs

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up in EDC to perform various tasks on your behalf by schedule or triggering them manually.

If your business needs or the requirements for the job change, you can edit the existing job to amend its details, schedule, or activation status.

For example, a job is set to extract data twice a month, however, this data extraction is not required, you can deactivate the job upon editing.

Important

To configure the job—upon adding or editing—you must have the Write permission for the respective job category granted to your user role via ADMIN.
