• Behavior: As Soon As Possible (ASAP), ASAP within fixed time frame, Fixed start

• Session Realization: Disables Runtime OS Image load operation during session
setup
• Scheduling Priority: Allows the Scheduler to reschedule sessions based on their
priority. When enabling the Allow session to be rescheduled check box, the
Scheduler uses this priority to identify who has precedence in allocating resources
among all users and groups. The values range from 1 to 5, where the highest
priority is 1 and the lowest priority is 5 (the default is 3). Users with a lower priority
may see their sessions rescheduled based on overall system allocations.
Administrators can change the value; users can change the value equal or lower to
the value assigned in their user profile. The Deadline is the maximum duration of
time your session can be scheduled and pushed out.
Permission Tab
