Setting a Recurring Task With The Same Start Time Repeated Every Consecutive Day

When setting up a periodic task, when we require that the periodic task always runs at the same time every day, we have to keep in mind that the task will always add the duration of the previous task to the set start time.

If the first run is set up as follows:

 Day of the week

First Starting Date and Time

Start Time

Job Duration

Minutes Between Runs

Minutes of the postponed next start

Monday

29.01.2024 10:00

10:00

30 min

1440

0 mi

 And if the task lasted 30 minutes, then the next day the start time of the task is shifted as follows:

Tuesday

30.01.2024 10:30

10:00

30 min

1440

30 min

Setting No. 1 if the job runs every day: Monday to Sunday

If we want the task from the example to run every day at 10:00 A.M., set up the task as follows:

In the Period tab:

  • Next Run Date Formula = 1D

  • Periodic task is automatically set to = YES

  • Start time = 10:00 AM

  • Minutes between runs = 0

We will set the other fields in a logical context as needed

Setting No.2 if the job runs at least two days in a row

If we want the task from the example to run every day at 10:00 A.M., set up the task as follows:

For example, the job runs from Monday to Friday every day at 10:00 AM.

  • Periodic Task Set To = YES

  • Clicked on the day Start on Monday to Start on Friday

  • Next Run Date Formula Becomes Empty

  • Start time = 10:00 AM

  • The number of minutes between runs must be set to less than 1440, but more than the estimated duration of the job

    • The time set in this way will ensure that the task will start correctly on the set date and according to the set start time

  • We will set the other fields in a logical context as needed
