Auto Process enables the user to create tasks which should be executed automatically on the predefined day and time. In AMG Attendance System you can create as many tasks as you wish. You don't have to delete the tasks, which you don't want to be executed for some period of time, and then create them again, if you need them to be executed again. You can merely make the tasks inactive and then activate them again. Note that at a time more than one tasks can be active.

Auto Processes page is intended to view the list of all tasks, add new tasks, edit and delete them.
