●Start time: Specifies when the configuration will launch.

●Recurrence, Once: Launches only once in the specified schedule.

●Recurrence, Daily: Task will recur daily once per day or once per weekday depending on the selected setting

8.Click Create Schedule. The Results page is displayed.

At this point, the schedule has been created but the devices have not yet been configured. You may want to run the configuration once to make sure there are no problems, such as devices needing credentials in order to be configured. This will increase the chances of the scheduled configuration completing successfully. If you do not want to run the configuration now, uncheck the option Run configuration now (recommended) and click Done to display the Configuration page. Otherwise, you will be taken to a second Configuration page.

9.Click Configure Devices. The Results page is displayed. To see details of the configuration, click Details. Then click Close.
