If you only want your task to take place once, leave the Once option selected. If you would like to set up or change the specific interval by which the task will be launched, select the Every option.
Seconds: If you would like your task to take place every x seconds, select this option.
Minutes: If you would like your task to take place every x minutes, select this option.
Hours: If you would like your task to take place every x hours, select this option.
Days: If you would like your task to take place every x days, select this option.
Weeks: If you would like your task to take place every x weeks, select this option.
Using Weeks, you can schedule tasks to run on only specific days of the week. After selecting the Weeks option, another tab labeled Days will become available. Click this tab to choose which days of the week you want the task to run on. Upon the first rescheduling, AutoMate™ will select the next day of the week you chose.
Note that the Days option does not take effect until the first rescheduling. For example, if you want to run the task on only Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but you still want to run the task on Tuesday, set the first scheduled day for Tuesday, and after the task runs, AutoMate™ will reschedule the task to run on Wednesday. After it runs on Wednesday, AutoMate™ will reschedule for Friday, and so on.
Bi-Weeks: If you would like your task to take place every x Bi-Weeks, select this option. Bi-Weeks are two complete weeks. So if you were to have a task scheduled to launch every 3 Bi-weeks, it would launch the first time, and then skip six weeks, and then launch on the same day of the week that it was originally scheduled.
The Days option is also available for Bi-Weeks. See the Weeks option for more details.
Months: If you would like your task to take place every x months, select this option.
Quarters: If you would like your task to take place every x quarters, select this option. A quarter is three months.
