The Status Window

The status window tells you what One Stop Automation is currently doing. 

The Command Buttons

The Pause or Start scheduler button allows you to override the default scheduler settings. You may want to pause One Stop Automation if you are working with Actinic.
The Run Now button allows you to start an unscheduled run.  If you have more than 1 action defined you are shown a list of the current actions.

Select the action to run. By default, the default (discussed later) action is selected. The default action is indicated by a *. To confirm the action to run press the Run button or double click on the required action.

The Run Default Now button runs the default task. This is set-up in the scheduled tasks options page.
When a run is taking place you can click on this button to cancel a run.  If you choose to cancel a run any dialogs that Actinic displays will not be cleared by One Stop Automation.
The OPTIONS button allows you to configure One Stop Automation.  You can choose how to handle dialogs, when to upload and download, how to export (and process) information and set modem options.
