how to schedule a run per container

[mageegee]

We have a workflow that is scheduled to run on a daily basis. But I just added a new container within that workflow which only needs to be run weekly. Is it possible to schedule the run of that container weekly? Thank you for answering!

HI @mageegee  unfortunatley as the container exists within the workflow there would be no way to schedule a run to enable the container and tools within it once a week, i would suggest splitting the two into 2 seperate processes where you have the daily process running daily and the weekly process scheduled to run weekly.

However there could also be the use of a filter tool looking at the current date and time (Datetime now) converting this to a day maybe and using this to dictate whether or not the process runs the weekly portion or the daily. This is hypothetical of course but seems achievable in my head. lol

if your workflow is run on server, i suggest adding checkboxes and just enabling the team to select it when "weekly" run is scheduled.
