Sequencing and Applications
===========================

Under :menuselection:`Configuration --> Sequencing & Applications`, you can configure and monitor the Scheduling Service provided by Wood InsightsPlatform (WIP).

The Scheduling Service is WIP's built-in mechanism for executing instructions at user-defined intervals. It supports two main types of instructions, depending on their origin:

- Native instructions are built-in to WIP and available for core services, such as Data Service, External Data Service, Calculation Service, Event Service.
- External application instructions originate from third-party applications. Before scheduling, the external application must be registered within WIP.

For detailed guidance on using the Scheduling Service, refer to the following documentation:

- :ref:`conf.seq.appman`: Register external applications using the Application Manager.
- :ref:`conf.seq.sched.service`: Set up single instructions or instruction sequences for scheduling.
- :ref:`conf.seq.sched.view`: Use the Scheduler Viewer to track and manage queued instructions.
