• QueueId: Select the queue jobs of this schedule will be placed in.

Relative path to file
The path (optional) and file name needs to be set when the schedule option On_File is used. The file and optional path is relative to the extract directory as set in the Basepaths. Wildcard characters * and ? may be used in the file name.

Exception dates
Exception dates can be set for Every_Hour, Every_Day, and Every_Month to deviate from the normal schedule. The job will not be executed on these dates. To add a date, select the empty field to open the calendar dialog and select a date. Repeat this action to add multiple dates.
