Time Based Scheduling

With time based scheduling you specify the time you want to elapse between runs of the conversion 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 a conversion job to run every hour, each subsequent job will begin running exactly one hour after the start time of the previous job. For example, say 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. Please see the Table 1 below.

Start Job	End Job	Time of Next Run
12:15 PM	12:30 PM	1:15 PM
1:15 PM	1:30 PM	2:15 PM
2:15 PM	2:30 PM	3:15 PM
3:15 PM	3:30 PM	4:15 PM

Table 1. Time table for a job that is 15 minutes in length and is scheduled to run every hour.

If the job takes more than an hour to run, the next job can optionally run immediately after the last one finishes, or at the next scheduled time (see the scheduler options section for additional info).
