Time tab

There are several options to specify when, and how often, a task will run.

To specify the times at which a scheduled task will run:

  1. Select the date on which the schedule starts.
    The start date cannot be before the current date.
  2. Specify the time at which the schedule starts on the selected date.
  3. Select the date on which the schedule will end. Reports will no longer be delivered after this date. Or, if the schedule will not end, select Never.
  4. If the schedule has an end date, specify the time at which the schedule will end on the selected date.
  5. Specify whether the report will be delivered every month or on selected months.
  6. Specify the days on which the report will be delivered.
    The specified days can be:
    • Every day
    • On specified days of the week
    • On a specified date of each month or of specified months. For example, on the 6th day of every month or on the 6th day of every April, June and September. Specify a comma-separated list of numerical values (e.g. 1,9,14)
    • On a specified day of each month or of specified months. For example, on the first Monday of every month or the first Monday of every May, July and August. Select Every and specify a numerical value in the first field and a day in the second field.
  7. Specify the time at which the report will be delivered.
  8. Specify whether the report will be delivered once during the day, at the start time. Or specify that the report will be delivered every n hours or n minutes through the day. For example, select Every and specify that a report runs at 12:25 and then at 25 minutes past the hour, every two hours, until the end of the day. Or specify that the report runs every 10 minutes.
  9. Specify From and To times between which the task will repeat.
