Note: 

I. For files residing on your PC, job scheduling is not directly possible, as they must be available on the server at the time of execution. Therefore, if you want to schedule files from your PC, it is recommended to first upload them to the server and then create a batch job using the RapidDox Server option. 


Please refer to this article for instructions on how to upload your files to the server.


II. The jobs will be executed based on the time zone set by the user. This can be set on the Settings page.
