Each task has an Edit Task tab that allows you to choose how to schedule that task's execution period. To edit a task, go to Components→Scheduled Tasks and then click on the name of the task. The scheduling options are in the Basic Fields section. If the task has additional configuration parameters, those will appear in the Task Parameters section.

In the above example, the Session Data Purge task is scheduled to run every 6 hours. There are several different ways to make it run at this interval; this is the simplest way. Other ways are:

• Interval Minutes - The interval value to schedule a 6-hour period would be 6x60, or 360 minutes.
• Cron Expression (Advanced) - Here we must setup all the parts of an entire year to create the schedule. The settings below show that we've chosen to run the task at the top of the hour starting at midnight and every 6 hours after that on every day of every month on every day of the week. This is more precise scheduling allowing you to spread your task executions over time so they aren't all running at the same time.

Other scheduling options are:

• Interval Minutes - only minutes period must be specified.
• Interval Days - days period and time must be specified.
• Interval Months - months period, single day and time must be specified.
• Manual Execution - only runs when you click the yellow "Run Task" button in the task list.
