As we have noted, xTuple Connect features appear throughout xTuple ERP (assuming the components are installed and enabled), and the range of features varies depending on your xTuple ERP edition. Any window with a SCHEDULE button on it allows sending a job to the xTuple Connect Batch Manager. In xTuple ERP 3.6.0 and later, most report screens have a SCHEDULE button. This lets you schedule the report to be run by the xTuple Connect Batch Manager using the selection criteria entered on the screen.
The following directory lists the other jobs that can be submitted to the xTuple Connect Batch Manager from xTuple ERP. For ease of use, we have separated the list by xTuple ERP edition (where applicable):
