To create a new Fixed Schedule

  • From the Menu Bar, select File | New. The Create New Object View displays.
  • Select Schedules. The New Schedule view displays.
  • Use the Name text box to specify a unique name or once you have configured the schedule, click the Auto-Generate Name Auto-Generate Name Buttonbutton to auto-generate a name based on the configured settings (e.g. Every 4 hours).
  • From the Type drop-down, select Fixed.
  • From the Frequency drop-down select one of the following options:
