Hourly. Runs the publication in intervals of up to 24 hours. You select the number of hours from the list. The publication runs at the beginning of the hour. For example, if you enter 2, the publication runs at 00:00, 02:00, and at consecutive two-hour intervals.
Daily. Runs the publication at the same hour every day.
Weekly. Runs the publication every week on one or more days at the same hour. Select the check boxes of the days of the week that the publication runs on. For example, select Saturday and Sunday to schedule the publication to run on weekends.
Monthly. Runs the publication every month on a specific date or a specific day at the same hour.

For minutes and hourly intervals, you can define a period of the day when the publication runs. For example, schedule the publication to run during nighttime hours.

Select a time zone for the schedule. The schedule runs the publication in the selected time zone. You can change the default time zone in the user profile.
