Clarity Task Schedule Only On Change

The Only on Change setting is intended to save unnecessary tasks from running, so if nothing has changed in the model, the task does not run.

What Determines if the Task Runs

When setting a task schedule to Only on Change, that means that even though that task is set to run at a set day/time, it will only run if one of the following occurs:

• The date of the target file changed in Clarity since the last time it ran?

  • You can see that date on the Project Home page or

  • The Files tab for that file

    • If a link changes in the target file, that will not cause the task to run.

  • The task definition changes since the last time the task ran

  • For a Project Scope task, if any model in the project changes, that would trigger the task to run.

Note:

If you need this to run on a set day/time regardless of change, do not check Only on Change.
