Top of the Screen
This area shows a list of defined ‘plans’
(scheduled housekeeping tasks), and allows
you to [Add] new ones, [Remove] existing
ones, [Save] your changes, etc.
[Buttons] on the right: To set up a new
‘plan’, click [Add], type a suitable name, and
click [OK]. To view settings for an existing
one, select the ‘plan’ name in the list, and then
observe setting on the rest of the screen.
[Edit] allows changing settings for a selected
‘plan’, while [Remove] will delete a selected
one from the list.
Attention: Always use the [Save] button to retain your
added ‘plans’ and related settings, since clicking [OK]
only closes the screen without saving anything.
