Execution times can be restricted by configuring an interval. The interval is the period in time each day in which the schedule will be active.

Optionally input a duration for each day where the schedule will be active. The values will adjust automatically to the correct interval time.

Executions can be configured to repeat at a certain recurring rate. Recurrences define when executions of the scheduled object will occur.

Select a recurrence
- Once. The schedule will run once. This is the default setting. This would be typical for the installation of a software package.
- Periodical. The schedule will run periodically. The periods that can be configured are Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.

If Daily is selected, configure a number of days between executions by Recur every day(s)

- Always. This schedule will run every time an agent run is triggered. Typically used to keep critical inventory information updated.
Optionally check End after occurences and input after how many runs the execution should stop.

Setting an Always recurring execution can result in a heavy load! When many computers contact the system it will create a peak in database and network activity!
