# Manage jobs

A job is an automated playbook task or set of playbook tasks that are scheduled to run at predefined intervals or under specific conditions. Jobs can be used for data enrichment, periodic reporting, threat intelligence gathering, or any repetitive operational tasks that need to be performed regularly without manual intervention. There are two types of jobs:

* Time triggered jobs that run at specific times: For example, you can schedule a time triggered job that runs nightly and removes expired indicators.
* Jobs triggered by a delta or change in a feed: For example, you can define an event triggered job to run a playbook when a specified TIM feed finishes a fetch operation for new indicators.

On the **Jobs** page, you can:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.14/configure-cortex-xsoar/jobs/manage-jobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
