Scan Type
Day of Week: Monday
Terms Added
Fuzzy Scheduling (Workflow Components): Natural language schedule syntax that automatically distributes workflow execution times. Added because PR Recommend weekday scheduling for daily workflows to avoid Monday backlog #16069 introduced this concept as the recommended scheduling approach, replacing explicit cron expressions.
Time Scattering (Advanced Features): Automatic distribution of workflow execution times across the day to reduce load spikes. Added to explain the mechanism behind fuzzy scheduling and how the compiler prevents simultaneous workflow execution.
Weekday Schedules (Workflow Components): Scheduled workflows configured to run only Monday-Friday. Added because PR Recommend weekday scheduling for daily workflows to avoid Monday backlog #16069 recommends
daily on weekdaysto avoid the "Monday wall of work" where weekend tasks create Monday backlogs.Terms Updated
