Set the interval. Based on the interval chosen, At Hour, At Minute, and Day of the Week fields are displayed. Select the appropriate values.
For example, when you choose Hourly, select the Interval and At Minute based on your preference. Choosing Interval = 2 and At Minute = 10 means that the test will execute every 2 hours, at 10 minutes past the hour.
For Daily frequency, you can choose the Interval, which is the day of the month, At Hour (UTC), and At Minute.
Example: Daily > Interval = 5 > At Hour = 2 > At Minute = 10. This means the test will execute every 5 days at 02.10 UTC.
For Weekly frequency, the default interval is 1. Choose At Hour (UTC), At Minute, and Day of Week.
Example: Weekly > Interval = 1 > At Hour = 2 > At Minute = 10 > Day of Week = Monday. This means the test will execute every week on Monday at 02.10 UTC.
For Monthly frequency: Monthly > Interval = 2 > At Hour = 2 > At Minute = 10 > On Day = 5. This means that the test executes on the 5th day of every other month at 02.10 UTC.
Note: If you do not specify the values for At Minute, At Hour, On Day, or Day Of Week as required, the default values displayed in the corresponding fields are considered. - Click Save.
