Combining Schedule Options

You have considerable flexibility when setting up run days for your schedule. You can overlap schedule options and use them in combination with each other. For example, you can schedule a task to run the first and third Thursday of the month as well as the last day of the month. Or, you might base a run cycle on a 90-day interval and also run the same task the last day of each month. Another combination might be to schedule a task to run on certain holidays for example, December 25, January 1, and July 4 as well as every Sunday of each month.


Caution    It is important to remember that your task runs on each day that is selected in the Scheduling Service dialog box. If you schedule a task for certain days of each week and later decide to base the schedule on a specific interval instead, you must deselect the week days if you do not want the task to run on those days as well.

To verify that your schedule is correct, it is a good idea to view the schedule summary after making changes. See Viewing a Schedule Summary for details.
