3. Under the When would you like this task to run? section, select one of the following options:
• Periodically Select from intervals of minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. With periodic
scheduling, you can configure the task to run until a certain date and time or to execute only a set
number of times. Periodic scheduling allows time filters to be applied. These filters specify the hours
of the day when a scheduled task can operate. For more information about time filters, see “Applying
a time filter”.
Note: If you want to schedule a task to run once a month on the 31st of the month and the month
has only 30 days, the task will run on the 1st day of the following month.
• Once Specify the date and time the task is to run.
• When new systems or events are added to the collection This option is only available if you select
a Collection of Systems or Events as your target. The task runs only when new systems or
events meet the collection criteria. You can also apply a time filter to this type of scheduling. For
more information about time filters, see “Applying a time filter”.
• When systems or events are removed form the collection This option is almost identical to the
previous option, except that the task runs only when systems contained in the Collection of
Systems or Events no longer meet the collection criteria. A time filter can be applied to this type
of scheduling. For more information about time filters, see “Applying a time filter”.
• Not Scheduled This option specifies that the task runs only when manually executed by a user
with appropriate privileges. This task never runs automatically. Tasks can be manually run from
