<li>The job schedule editor is composed of four tabs:</li>
<ol>
<li>'''Schedule''' (labelled report.scheduling.schedule): allows to specify a schedule for the report execution. The recurrence can be None, Simple or Calendar. ''None'' means that the job is executed only once (either immediately or at a specified date). The ''Simple'' mode allows to specify a time interval and an end date for the job execution. The ''Calendar'' mode allows to schedule the job according to a calendar, e.g. every Monday in certain months at 8 am. Once the configuration is done, click on the next tab to proceed.</li>
