The AsyncActionScheduledJob__mdt Custom Metadata Type

Scheduled job records provide:

• Automatic Job Creation - Framework creates scheduled jobs based on metadata configuration
• Recurring Processing - Process accumulated actions at predictable intervals
• Flexible Scheduling - Support for hourly, semi-hourly, and custom cron schedules
• Operational Control - Enable/disable scheduled processing without code changes
• Multi-Processor Support - Link multiple processors to a single schedule
