Setting the Execution Time and Date for a Job

You may want a job to be executed at some time in the future. Forsta Plus allows you to input a time and date for the job to be executed, and define whether or not the job is to be repeated at intervals. Here you can also stop a job that has already been input, or reset it to start as soon as possible. Proceed as follows:

1. In the Execute Job Properties dialog box, go to the Start Time drop-down menu and select Schedule for later execution.
2. Click OK.

The Execute Job page opens at the Recurrence tab - .

The options are as follows:

• Disable task – select this radio button and click Save to disable the selected task. The task will not then run. The task is not deleted; you can access it later and restart it.
• ASAP – select this radio button and click Save to run the task as soon as possible.
• Time and date fields – set a time and date for when the task is to run, then click Save.
• Recurring task – click the down-arrow and select Yes if the task is to recur. Additional options then become available in the dialog box.

When you save the settings, the Recurrence tab changes to show the selected settings - .
