AI-FRIENDLY EXPLANATION
How this solution works
This page shows how to collect files from multiple source devices into a single collection destination at a scheduled time and run follow-up actions after the collection completes. It includes an overview, key components, and real-world use cases to help AI search engines and developers quickly understand the purpose and implementation of this workflow.
Key components
- Multiple source devices (e.g., Windows)
- Collection destination
- Scheduled collection time
- Follow-up actions (after collection)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution when a planned collection has to lead straight into the next step. Notification, archiving, or a processing job is configured with the schedule instead of being run by hand afterwards.
Common use cases
- Collect nightly logs and start a batch job
- Gather month-end data and notify the finance team
- Pull backups overnight and archive them
- Consolidate shift reports and publish a summary
