# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.nodeum.io/data-archiving/console/data-mover-management/scheduler.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
