When does it run? Choose the frequency and fill in only what it asks for; below it is shown in words, for example “Will run: Every Monday and Thursday at 02:30”.
| Frequency | What you choose |
|---|---|
| Every day | The time. |
| Some days of the week | The days (shortcuts “Monday to Friday” and “weekend”) and the time. |
| Once a month | The day of the month (1 to 28) and the time. |
| Every hour | The minute. |
| Every few minutes | 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. |
| Advanced (cron expression) | For special cases: minute hour day month weekday; 0 or 7 is Sunday and 1 is Monday. |
The time is the server’s (System → Date, time and time zone). The table shows each task in words, its next run (“today 06:00”, “Mon 07:00”…) and a switch to pause or resume it. New task and each row’s pencil open the wizard in a side panel; Run now starts it right away and Delete is inside the edit panel.
