Hello everyone! I am a new user, using Ignition Designer to export data. I want to run a script that triggers automatically at let's say "5 am" and stores the data where I would like. I know there's a way using the table but it has its limitations due to security reasons. Is there a way to schedule a script at certain time? Thank you!

Welcome to the Forum!

I would leverage the gateway event scripts scheduled option for this:
