Setting up the search schedule and results settings

On the second page of the task configuration wizard, one can set, view, or change the settings that determine how often the server will run the task, how many search results the task’s reports will include, and whether to send search results via e-mail. This page provides the following settings:

•Task Name - View the name of the task and change the name as needed. The name cannot be blank or consist solely of spaces, and the name must be unique on the server.

•Active - When this check box is selected, the server runs the task according to a schedule.

•One time - Choose the date and time to run the task, or select the Now check box to run the task right after it has been created or modified. The task will run only one time.

•Hourly - Choose the recurrence interval for the task and the date and time to run the task. For example, an interval of 1 produces an hourly schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-hour schedule. The task will run each hour.

•Daily - Choose the recurrence interval for the task and the date and time to run the task. For example, an interval of 1 produces a daily schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-day schedule. The task will run at the specified time each day.

•Weekly - Choose the recurrence interval for the task, the date and time to run the task, and the days of the week on which to run the task. For example, an interval of 1 produces a weekly schedule and an interval of 2 produces an every-other-week schedule. The task will run at the specified time on each of the specified days.

•Monthly - Choose the months in which to run the task and the weeks of the month and the days of the week for each month in which to run the task. The task can also be configured to run on a certain last day of each month.

•Results - Options that determine how many results to include in the task’s report and whether to deliver reports via e-mail:

•Limit to <number> results - If this check box is cleared, the report may contain a large number of results that could cause a depletion of server resources. Select this check box to limit the number of results the report may contain.

•Send results via e-mail - For the server to deliver the task’s reports via e-mail after every run of the task, select this check box and specify the e-mail addresses of the report recipients. One can specify multiple addresses separated by a semicolon (;).

This option requires a mail server (see Specifying mail server for Search Server reports). If a mail server is not specified, this option is unavailable.

•Do not send results if nothing found - When selected, this check box prevents the server from sending report e-mails that contain no search results.
