## Run Day Options

By default, a task is scheduled to run every day indefinitely. You can, however, specify particular run days for a task. Run days consist of specific dates, a recurring pattern of days, or both. You can set up a schedule based on:

- Week days (for example, every Saturday)
- Days of the month (for example, the first, 15th, and/or last day of each month)
- Regular intervals (for example, every 45 days)
- Specific dates (for example, December 25 and July 4)

  These options can be applied exclusively or in combination with each other. The task is eligible to run on any of the selected run days.

  After configuring a schedule, if you don't want the task to run on certain days falling within the schedule, you can exclude those dates. This option is useful for excluding holidays.

  Regardless of the option you use, your task is scheduled to start during the time window you defined for the task. If you schedule a task to start today, the task can run today provided the specified time window has not elapsed.

  The following sections describe how to set up run days:

- "Scheduling a Task for Certain Days of the Week or Weeks of the Month" on page 19
- "Scheduling a Task for Certain Days of Each Month" on page 25
- "Scheduling a Task To Run at Regular Intervals" on page 24
- "Specifying Explicit Dates for a Task" on page 26
- "Excluding Specific Dates from a Schedule" on page 27
