Identifying What Type of Schedule Makes Sense

Example: Company A's Schedule Analysis

Company A's manager has decided that he would like his time entry reminder to be sent every Friday. Find a schedule that reflects this time frame or create a new schedule. You can also use a Cron string to schedule the notification to run at a certain time every Friday.

Example: Company B's Schedule Analysis

Company B wants to be sure the adjusting entries are reviewed and approved as quickly as possible. The notification designer determines that the notification should be run every 15 minutes during the month end time frame starting at 7:00 am and ending at 8:00 pm. In this case, a schedule created using a Cron string is most appropriate.

Example: Company C's Schedule Analysis

The subscribers to Company C's purchase order notification want to be informed promptly when their item is received, but the information is not extremely time-critical. Set the purchase order notification to run every four hours so that subscribers get reasonably prompt notification without unnecessary processing load on the system.
