Creating a Job

  2. Click on the Add link for Scheduled Job.

  3. Enter a unique name for the job in the Name field.

  4. In the Callable field, enter a Python dot notation path to the method that defines the job. For the example above, that would be myapp.jobs.count

  5. Choose your Queue. Side Note: The queues listed are defined in the Django Settings.

  6. Enter the time the job is to be executed in the Scheduled time field. Side Note: Enter the date via the browser’s local timezone, the time will automatically convert UTC.
