Setting an Effective Date
The effective date determines when your schedule goes into effect. A task can not run prior to its effective date. By default, the effective date is the current date.
To specify an effective date:
-
Open the Scheduling Service dialog box.
-
From the schedule options list in the left pane, select the Effective Date option.
The Effective Date pane is displayed.
-
Select the Make the schedule go into effect checkbox.
The field directly beneath the checkbox becomes enabled.
-
In the field, enter the date on which you want the schedule to go into effect. Do either of the following:
-
Click the arrow to the right of the field and select the date you want from the drop-down calendar.
-
Use the increment buttons to the left of the field to change the month, day, or year (mm:dd:yyyy format). Click the portion of the date you want to change and then select the up or down increment button.
You can enter a date up to and including December 31, 2037.
-
When you have finished setting up a schedule, select OK.
The Scheduling Service dialog box accepts the changes you made and closes.
