Enabling and disabling scheduled tasks
You can enable or disable selected schedules or disable all schedules
at once.
To perform
this action Do this
Enable a
schedule when
creating or
editing it
In the scheduled task Properties (Windows) or Edit Schedule
dialog box (Mac OS), be sure Enable this schedule is selected.
When you create a schedule, the scheduled task is enabled by
default.
Enable or disable
a schedule
Windows: Select or deselect one or more schedules in the
schedules list and choose Action menu > Enabled. A
checkmark appears next to the Enabled command in the Action
menu to indicate the current selection is enabled.
Mac OS: In the schedules list, select the empty checkbox to
the left of the schedule name. A checkmark appears,
indicating that the scheduled task is enabled.
Prevent or allow
all schedules to
run
Windows: Select or deselect Action menu > Allow schedules to
run.
Mac OS: Choose the Schedules list > Allow Schedules to Run
checkbox at the bottom of the schedules list.
This setting overrides any individual schedule settings you
have enabled and all checkmarks in the list are dimmed and
the Next Run column lists the scheduled tasks as Disabled. If
you open the scheduled task Properties (Windows) or Edit
Schedule dialog box (Mac OS) for a disabled scheduled task,
however, the checkmark in the Enable this schedule option
might still be checked.
