Intelligent Agents – More Flexible Scheduling

The Intelligent Agent creation interface has been modernized, and new agent frequency options have been added.

  • One-Time Run: This new option allows instructors to choose a single date and time for the Intelligent Agent to run.
  • Hourly: Instructors can select a date range and time for the intelligent agent to run hourly.
