B.3 Date Specific

The Date Specific scheduling option lets you specify one or more dates on which to run the task.

B.3.1 Start Dates

Click Unknown Status icon to display a calendar you can use to select a date for the task. You can add multiple dates one at a time.

B.3.2 Run Event Every Year

Select this option to run the task every year on the dates shown in the Start Date(s) list.

B.3.3 Select When Schedule Execution Should Start

Select one of the following options:

  • Start Immediately at Start Time: Starts the task at the time you specify in the Start Time field.

  • Start at a Random Time between Start Time and End Time: Starts the task at a randomly selected time between the time you specify in the Start Time and End Time fields. You can use this option to avoid possible network overload from concurrently scheduled tasks.

B.3.4 Use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

The Start Time is converted to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Select this option to indicate that the Start Time you entered is already in Coordinated Universal Time and should not be converted. For example, suppose you are in the Eastern time zone. If you enter 10:00 a.m. and select this option, the Start Time is scheduled for 10:00 UTC. If you do not select this option, the Start Time is scheduled for 14:00 UTC because Eastern time is UTC - 4 hours.
