Release: Crawl Schedule Improvements

Archive-It enables partners to crawl and archive their chosen seeds at automated frequencies, but these crawls need to be scheduled before they can run on their own. That crawl scheduling feature can be difficult to find in the Archive-It web application, so we’ve added new visual cues to help you see which crawls are scheduled to run in a given collection and which ones still need to be scheduled before they can run. 

The yellow icons in a collection’s Scheduled Crawls list now indicate the frequencies at which crawls have not yet been scheduled, and provide direct links to your collection’s Schedule Crawls page where you can schedule them:

You can also now find this list on your account level Scheduled Crawls view, giving you a clear picture of what crawls are coming up in your account and what remains to be scheduled:
