Schedule

The schedule dialog allows you define one or more schedules for a task.

The dialog is used in various places within IceWarp Server.

Pressing the Schedule button opens the schedule dialog:

As you can see from the automatically generated schedules descriptions in the screenshot above you can define quite complex schedules – Once a day, specific days in a month, at timed intervals, specific days, specific time periods, and so forth.

Multiple schedules can be defined for the same task giving you great flexibility and control over your automated tasks. In the above screenshot, the Task will be run -

At 23:59 on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
At 06:00 on the 15th of every month
At hourly intervals on every day of the week
and Every 20 Minutes between 01:00 and 07:00 on Saturdays and Sundays

The "Force dial connection" button is only active if you have IceWarp Server set to use a dial-up connection. Checking the box will cause IceWarp Server to connect each time the scedule is triggered.

The buttons allow you to Add, Edit and Delete schedules, pressing the Add or Edit buttons opens the Schedule Task dialog, where you can choose when to run this task.
