Weekly

The weekly recurrence type is used when you have a job that needs to run one or more days every week or on an Every X Weeks basis. Or the weekly recurrence type can also be used when you have a job that needs to run on specific days of the week. As usual, we start with the Skip Missed Execution Times option that was outlined at the start of this section.

Next, we again see the Start Date and Start Time fields to specify the starting date and time. This time we see the repeating interval option appears as Every X Weeks and is based on the number of weeks instead of days as in the once-a-day recurrence. The next field, Days of the Week is what this recurrence type really excels at. Notice how this option has a checkbox for every single day of the week. They normally default to all of them being enabled, but you can toggle any of the off or on in any combination needed. Underneath of them, you see buttons that help quickly set all the days of the week settings to commonly used values, or to quickly select or deselect all the days-of-the-week options.

One example for using this would be to select only the weekdays and use that to trigger the creation of a daily report that goes out to all office workers. Or select weekends and use that to trigger the creation of weekend promotion emails.
