While other configurations describe what to do in MailStore Cloud (e.g. Archiving Profiles, Directory Services), Schedules define when to do this. A Schedule is always of a specific type (which cannot be changed after saving) and normally contains a reference to a configuration, which should be executed, and a recurrence. The recurrence interval may be set to only once, on a daily basis, or a specific interval. The recurrence is always segmented in 15-minute timeframes. Schedules can be paused by disabling them.
Schedules
The Schedules page has various features that can be used to create and manage your schedules. The list view on this page will display all schedules by name in either ascending or descending order. It also displays whether they are enabled, the type, recurrence, recurrence details, and scheduled time zone.
- Search – Search is an implicit search over Name and ID:
- Name is a case insensitive “includes” search.
- ID is a case insensitive “equals” search.
- Refresh – The refresh icon can be utilized if needed to refresh the page.
- Actions – Allows you to manage your Schedule.
- Delete – To delete a Schedule.
- Edit – To edit the selected schedule.
Note: The Type of schedule cannot be changed after creation.
- Create Schedule – Creates a new schedule from the beginning.

Note: Properties with a trailing asterisk are mandatory.
- Name
- The user should select a unique name that is relevant to the profile.
- The name can be edited later.

- The Schedule’s type.
- Note: This will also determine the many possible configuration properties. See below for further details.
- Enabled
- If the Schedule is not enabled, it will be paused and not executed.
- This has no influence on currently running processes, so any currently running processing from that schedule will not be stopped. See Process Log for more Information.

- User’s time and time zone are determined automatically and preselected in the dialog.
- The different recurrences are:
