Time Based

Enter the length of time you want to elapse between runs of the job. This can be expressed as a combination of hours, minutes and/or seconds or may be one of the time elements only. For example, 1 hour and 30 minutes may also be expressed as 90 minutes.

If you specify to run a ‘Conversion Job’ every hour the job will begin exactly one hour after the last job. For example, you’ve set the timer to run every hour and it will begin the first run at 12:15 PM. Even if the job takes 15 minutes to run, the next running time will still be at 1:15 PM, then 2:15 PM etc. If the job takes more than an hour, the next job can optionally run immediately after the last, or at the next scheduled time (See the options section for additional info). Please see the Table 1 below.
