Recalculating the Next Time

For the Run between times and Run all day options you can indicate if you want the next recurring time to be calculated based on the Completed time of the Operation or the Starting time of the Operation.  Use the Starting time if you always want to run on a specific interval (e.g., on the hour).  Use Completed time if you want to wait the absolute time amount before starting the Operation again.

The following window shows the Schedule Recurring options.  This dialog provides the ability to have an Operation, Step or Job run multiple times within a day.
