# Run Day Options Pane Overview

Run days consist of specific dates, a recurring pattern of days, or both. The Run Day Options category of the options tree lists the following options for configuring the run days.

- 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)
- Exclude dates to remove specific dates from a schedule

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.

Regardless of the option you use, your task is scheduled to start anytime 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.
