Thanks @Pauly, I'm marking this post as under review.  We are considering adding additional frequency options to our Scheduler will definitely take this feedback into account.  Do you find yourself needing any other types of scheduling frequencies you'd like us to keep in mind?  Thanks again!

Thanks, Julie. I think otherwise there are sufficient options available.

 

Kind regards

"Only during working hours" becomes ambiguous in a global organisation - what time zone are referring to.   For example - working hours for NYC are almost exactly offset from working hours in Tokyo.

 

So, I agree with your suggestion that perhaps in order to achieve what you're looking for @Pauly - if folk can flexibly specify windows where the scheduler will trigger or not - then this may achieve what you want.   For example:

- Every: Hour

- Frequency: Daily

- Between: 08:00 EST and 18:00 EST (timezone has to be mandatory)

To select a timezone would also be nice, but to select start and and end date of the schedule in working machine timezone would be a good start and the possibility to select the working days (e.g. MO-FR or SUN-THU).
