When you access the ReportCaster Scheduling Wizard, the Schedule window opens first.
In the Schedule window, shown in the following image, you will specify the job description, the run intervals, the date and time you want the schedule to run, and whether to enable or disable the schedule. You can select the schedule to run once or repeatedly on any day at any time.

The following image shows the Schedule Job pane options set to run the scheduled job every three hours on Monday and Friday.
The following image shows the Schedule Job pane options set to run the scheduled job every five days.
The following image shows the Schedule Job pane options set to run the scheduled job every two weeks on both Monday and Friday.
Note: When selecting the week(s) interval, set the Start Date to the date of the first day (current or future) of the week you want the schedule to run. If you select the current date, then you must make sure that the schedule Start Time is later than the current time when you save the schedule. If the schedule Start Time is less than or equal to the current time, the calculation for the next run time results in the schedule not running on the current date.
The following image shows the Schedule Job pane options set to run the scheduled job on the first Monday of every month. Although other dates are selected on the calendar, they are inactive since the Day(s) and The nth day of the month(s) options are mutually exclusive.

Note: When selecting the Month(s) interval, set the Start Date to the date of the first day (current or future) of the month you want the schedule to run. If you select the current date, then you must make sure that the schedule Start Time is later than the current time when you save the schedule. If the schedule Start Time is less than or equal to the current time, the calculation for the next run time results in the schedule not running on the current date.
The following image shows, in the Schedule Job pane, that the scheduled job will run every two years.
In the Apply secondary run interval window, you can optionally create a secondary run interval within the day the schedule runs. You can apply the secondary run interval every n minutes or hours for a specified number of hours/minutes or until a specified time. This option is available for schedules that run every day(s), week(s), month(s), or year(s). The following image shows the secondary run interval options.

For example, a schedule exists that is set to run daily at 2:00 PM with a secondary run interval of every 10 minutes from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. When the schedule runs at 2:00 PM, the NEXTRUNTIME is reset to run at 2:10, which honors the secondary run interval. If this schedule is updated at 2:03 PM, the NEXTRUNTIME is recalculated to be 2:00 PM the next day, rather than 2:10 PM on the current day.
