# Scheduler

The scheduler manages time scheduling and orchestrates task execution at the specified time.

Three different modes are available:

* Manual: The task will be started manually by connected user.
* Automatic: The task will be automatically executed by the schedule, once the task is finished, the software will wait 5 minutes and restart the task after this delay. Only one execution of each task can be performed in the same time. There is no option to start twice a same task.
* Schedule: The task is executed periodically following a defined schedule.
