General Tab
General page of Schedule Task Settings dialog contains different options for:
- Sync Task
- Session Task
- Auto Upload Task
Sync Task
For sync task you can change the remote folder or local folder for synchronization. For each schedule task you can specify the launch time, end time and task repetition option.
Description
Enter here a brief descriptive string for the task. It will be used in the task list and the notification email to identify the task.
Site
Specify the remote server you want to connect to. Use the button on the right hand side to select server entry from the Address Book.
Remote Folder
Enter here remote folder for synchronization.
Local Folder
Enter here local folder for synchronization. UNC format (\\server\path1) must be used if it is a local network share.
Launch Time
When you create a new schedule task, the launch time will be preset to current time plus 30 minutes. Pressing the button on the right side of the launch time field or end time field will set correspondent date and time to current system time, which can be convenient when adjusting the date/time value.
Force finish after
By enabling this option the task will be terminated after a specified period of time no matter whether it is completed by then or not at that point. You can specify any number of minutes or hours as the time period.
Repeat Task
To repeat a task, select the checkbox Repeat Task. You can then specify how often the task is run in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years. If you choose to run a task every some weeks, you can also select multiple days for each week to run the task. If you choose to run a task every some months, you can specify which day in every month by either entering a day number or choose from a range of day of week.
Note that if you enter a number between 29 and 31 as the day of each month to run the task, the task runs only in the months that have the day.
Session Task
General page for Session Task is similiar to Sync Task except that if shows the path to session file rather than the remote site and local/remote folder for synchronization.
Auto Upload Task
General page for Auto Upload Task contains the following fields: Description, Site, Remote Folder and Local Folder. Auto Upload Task is an ongoing job so no time related field is present.
