Setting up a Recurring Task to run on specific days

Less than one minute read time.

Have you ever had a process which you'd like to run on a particular day or days each year?

Well, normally, you'd just set up a Task in Usage > Batch Server > Recurring tasks (GESABA)

However, the normal Weekly and Monthly Frequency options may not be sufficient in some cases - for example, you may wish to run a Financial Report on 1st January and 1st July every year.

Is there a way to do this?

Fortunately, the answer is "yes"! You can use create a Calendar Code in Parameters > Usage > Batch Server > Batch Server calendar (GESABC) and use that to exclude all but the required days you'd like the Task to be run on.

I hope this helps you to schedule your less frequent Tasks in the future.
