Working with the Export Scheduler
Once you build export templates in SlideRoom, you can run them manually, or schedule them to run automatically. The Export Scheduler is a tool that allows you to schedule files to be exported without being manually initiated. Files can be downloaded to an individual computer, uploaded to a vcloud storage service, or passed along via SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) at the scheduled time of your choice. generate exports without creating a schedule
