Daily

The Daily schedule runs a macro once a day at the time specified.

Macro Express Explorer > Macro > Add Macro - Or click on New Macro Icon

Schedule

Run At

Enter the time that the macro is to run each day.

Run Every [  ] Days

The default value is one, which means that the macro runs every day. Insert the number 2 for the macro to run every two days, 3 for every three days, etc.

If the activation was missed, run at the next available time

If the computer was shut down or Macro Express was closed at the scheduled macro run, this option runs the macro later when the computer is started or Macro Express is reopened.

Don't Run the Macro Again if the Time is Within [  ] Hours and [  ] Minutes of the Next Scheduled Runtime

If the scheduled activation was missed, it may not be desirable to run the macro twice within a relatively short period of time. For example, let's say that the value is set to 12 hours, the macro is scheduled to run at noon and the computer is shut down before noon. If the computer is not restarted until 6:00am the following day, the skipped macro does not run because the time is within 12 hours of the next scheduled playback at noon.

Range

Select a date and time range for the macro to play back from the three options available in the drop down list. These range options are described below.

Run the Macro Within this Date Range

Select a range of dates during which the macro may run. The macro plays back during the hours of the day and for the duration of the days selected. Select the Start Date when the macro is to first start running. Then select the End Date when the macro ceases to run.

Run Between These Times Each Day

Select a start and an end time for the macro to run.

Run the Macro Between the Dates and Time 

Select a starting date and time. Then select an ending date and time. The macro is available to run anytime between the dates and times specified.

Run the Macro Indefinitely

Run the Macro Indefinitely does not stop the macro on a specific date. It continues to run at the appointed time until the schedule is canceled or the macro is disabled or deleted.

Start Calculating the Next Run Time At

Select the date and time to start calculating the next run of the macro.

Run the Macro Between These Hours of the Day
