Range Schedules

Range Schedules define a range of available times to execute assigned executables such as Templates and Reports (e.g. every hour at anytime within each hour). Range Schedules support minutes, hourly, daily and weekly.

Example

Consider a Template that has been assigned to 3 websites: www.yourcompany.com, www.CornerBowlSoftware.com and www.OpenServerManager.net. A Range Schedule set to every 15 minutes would result in the following monitor executions:

www.yourcompany.comExecutes at 0:00, 0:15, 0:30 and 0:45
www.CornerBowlSoftware.comExecutes at 0:05, 0:20, 0:35 and 0:50
www.OpenServerManager.netExecutes at 0:10, 0:25, 0:40 and 0:55
