Scheduled windows for events

Files tend to not get created on time, due to various reasons. Would like to be able to have an event run within a window of time, say between 07:00 and 11:00. If a file is not found within that window then the event fails and sends the failure notification. If the file is found within the window then that event is successful and does not need to look for the file further. 

Yes we can set an event to run on a schedule like this, but getting error messages for every failure within that window is not ideal.

    This would be a feature that's similar to an IS Complex Scheduled Task that would allow for setting the following for an MFT event,

    • a window of time to run the event, say between 07:00 and 11:00.
    • repeating interval such as every 15 minutes
    • repeating pattern such as Repeat after Completion of previous event run
    • end the event/task after a successful file transfer (this is currently not a Complex Task feature, but would be helpful if available.)
