Thanks for the help Mark!

Mike - As Mark stated, currently there is no way to schedule automatic tasks in Method without utilizing the API, however, this may be possible when the new version is released. Check out this forum post which discusses the same topic. Hope this helps!

Hi MikeB

Inside a Method screen design there isn't an option to raise an unattended event. I don't know if Method intends to add this feature but we have been able to do this through the API.

So it is possible.

Scheduled or automated actions

Is there a way to assign actions to a (hidden) button on a screen and run those actions every night at a certain time.

I'm looking to create a customer status variable that is based on various things and would like to update that status every day automatically.

Is this possible?
