1. Every: 1 day(s).

2. Once at: 06:00:00 PM.

3. Effective:

From: not set. The task will be started on the current day, if it has been created before 6PM. If

you have created the task after 6 PM, the task will be started for the first time on the next day at

6 PM.

To: not set. The task will be performed for an indefinite number of days.

"Three-hour time interval lasting for three months" schedule

Run the task every three hours. The task starts on a certain date (say, September 15, 2009), and ends

after three months.

The schedule's parameters are thus set up as follows.

1. Every: 1 day(s).

2. Every: 3 hours

From: 12:00:00 AM (midnight) Until: 09:00:00 PM - thus, the task will be performed 8 times a

day with a 3 hour time interval. After the last daily recurrence at 9 PM, the next day comes and

the task starts over again from midnight.

3. Effective:

From: 09/15/2009. If September 15, 2009 is the current date of the task's creation and, say,

01:15 PM is the task's creation time, the task will be started when the nearest time interval

comes: at 03:00 PM in our example.

To: 12/15/2009. On this date the task will be performed for the last time, but the task itself is still

available in the Tasks view.

Several daily schedules for one task

There are some cases when you might need the task to be run several times a day, or even several

times a day with different time intervals. For such cases, consider adding several schedules to a single

task.

For example, suppose that the task has to be run every 3rd day, starting from 09/20/2009, five times

a day:

 first at 8 AM

 second at 12 PM (noon)

 third at 3 PM

 fourth at 5 PM

 fifth at 7 PM

The obvious way is to add five simple schedules. If you spend one minute for examination, you can

think out a more optimal way. As you can see, the time interval between the first and the second

task's recurrences is 4 hours, and between the third, fourth and fifth is 2 hours. In this case, the

optimal way is to add two schedules to the task.

First daily schedule

1. Every: 3 day(s).

2. Every: 4 hours.

From: 08:00:00 AM Until: 12:00:00 PM.

3. Effective:

1 2 ... 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 ... 388 389
