Activate immediately - changes the Next Run date and time to now, which causes the Scheduler to start the task as soon as possible.

The Scheduler follows next rules that influence on the execution start time as follows:

  • If another scheduled task is running, the Scheduler waits for its completion before checking the queue.
  • If one or more other scheduled tasks are waiting for execution (that is, their Next Run time is less than now), the Scheduler starts them consecutive.
  • If no other scheduled task is running or waiting, the time the execution begins may take up to a minute (the Scheduler checks the queue once per a minute).
