The New Trigger dialog window offers you two options on the Begin the task field:

  • On a schedule - use this option to create a trigger based on scheduled criteria
  • At task creation/modification - select this option if you want to run the task as soon as it is created or when the task is modified. 

Go to the respective sections below to view specific settings for each option.

Creating a Trigger On a Schedule

If you select this option, you can select from the following drop-down options in the Setting occurs field:

  • One Time -  use this option to run the task once at a specific date and time.
  • Daily - use this option to run the task once per day every X number of days (Recurs every option). For example, you can specify to run a task every 2 or 3 days. 
  • Weekly - use this option to run the task in certain days of the week every X number of weeks (Recurs every option). For example, you can specify to run a task each Sunday and Wednesday every three weeks.
  • Monthly - use this option to identify specific dates of certain months according to these options:
    • Day of every month(s) - select a specific date in a month in which you want to run the task. For example, you can define to run a task the 12th of January. 
    • The of every month(s) - use this option when you do not want to determine specific dates. You can select options such as First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Last of a selected week day of a specific month. For example, you can determine to run a task the Second Sunday of March.

Use the option Synchronize across time zones to make the time relative to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) instead of the computer time zone that runs the task. Use this setting when you want to run tasks simultaneously in multiple time zones. 

After you select your trigger time-based specifications, you can go to Advanced Settings for more trigger options. 

Creating a Trigger At task creation/modification

Select this option if you want to run the task as soon as it is created or when the task is modified. If you select this option you do not need additional settings, but you can configure Advanced Options.
