Because of available job retention policies, NiagaraNetworkJobPrototype components are the preferred components to configure regular station backup provisioning jobs—something otherwise unavailable when setting up a provisioning job from the ProvisioningNwExt (Niagara Network Job Builder view).

You copy this component from the provisioningNiagara palette or duplicate it from another NiagaraNetworkJobPrototype. To specify some future (and possibly periodic) execution, you link the out (Trigger) slot of a standard TriggerSchedule to the component’s Submit Job action. To schedule the job to run immediately, you click Run Now.

Like other components, you can duplicate, modify, and reuse these jobs as needed in the Supervisor station.

This component’s default view is the Niagara Network Prototype View. The Prototype Job List view, which is also available on this component, provides job retention options.
