## Understanding the Time Window

By default, a task can run anytime between 12:00:00 AM and 11:59:59 PM. This means that, for example, if you schedule a task to run every Monday using the default time window, the task can start at or anytime after midnight early Monday morning. It cannot, however, start after 11:59:59 PM Monday night.

Time window
A time window is the period of time during which a task can begin.

You can control when a task runs by changing the start and end times of its time window.

You can set up a time window that extends past midnight. For example, if you don't want a task to interfere with daytime operations, you can schedule the task to start after 5:00 PM and before 3:00 AM the next day.

You can also configure the task to restart within the time window. This enables you to run the task several times each day.

The time window you specify applies for every day on which the task is scheduled to run. If you schedule a task to start today, the task can run today provided the specified time window has not elapsed.
