3. Select the site from the drop-down menu.
4. Click Setup Schedule Time. This opens a task window, which
allows you to set dates and times for each data collection.
Specify the date, time, and frequency of the collection.
Interval Type
To create a recurring task, use options in the left column to
schedule a job to occur every month, week, day, hour, or minute.
To schedule a job to skip intervals of time, such as every other
month, every three weeks, every 5 days, or every 30 minutes,
use the options in the right column.
Months/Weekdays
If a job is to run only on selected months, check the box in front
of those months. If all boxes are blank (default), the job will run
every month.
If a job is to run only on selected days, check the box in front of
those days. If all boxes are blank (default), the job will run on
every day of the week.
Day of Month/Hour/Minute/Second
If a job is to run on a specific day of the month, or at a specific
hour, minute, or second of the day, use the drop down boxes. All
time intervals, that are more specific than the interval type
selected, must be filled in or all possible combinations are
executed. For example, a daily task must have the hour, minute,
and seconds specified or the job will attempt to execute every
second of that day.
The text area displays a text description in a simple English
phrase describing the job’s scheduled run time(s).
Task
The Job name already appears in the task name field. If you
would like to change the name you may do so here.

Setting Times for Job Collection
When scheduling
Collection jobs, we
recommend that you
schedule the collection to occur
five minutes after the unit capture
has occurred to avoid overlapping
capture and collection times.
