Creating scheduled tasks

Letting SEO tasks be completed automatically at a time you choose

Rank Tracker lets you update projects, publish reports or export data even when you are not at your desk. All you need to do is create tasks for jobs you would like to automate. Please go to Preferences -> Scheduler, click Add, and follow instructions for your type of task.

Scheduler: Add New Task command

Step 1: choose task type

Select the type of task you would like to automate.

Add task to Scheduler: step 1 (choose task type)

Step 2: choose projects

Choose a project (or a group of 3-5 projects) to include into the task.

Add task to Scheduler: step 2 (choose projects)

If a project you need does not appear on the list, please use the Add project command and specify a path to the file on your hard drive. Only saved projects can be selected.

Step 3: set start time and recurrence

Please set timing and recurrence rules for the new scheduled task. Also please indicate whether missed/delayed tasks should be automatically re-run.

Add task to Scheduler: step 3 (set time and repetition)

Step 4: give name to task

Please choose a name for the task. Use a descriptive name that explains what the task does, e.g. Weekly rankings update for XYZ. When the number of scheduled tasks grows, descriptive names will make it easier for you to navigate through the list.

Please hit Finish to save the task or hit Cancel to start over. Once the task has been created, it will appear on your list of scheduled tasks under Preferences -> Scheduler.
