## Changing interval

In the column `Schedule interval` you can change the interval in which the task runs. Different intervals are available, such as `1 minute`, `5 minutes`, `10 minutes`, `30 minutes`, and `1 hour`. All intervals are cron expressions, which means it will run the next time the cron expression matches the current time.

## Actions

You can find different actions for each task on the right side of a task item.

### Disabling / Enabling

You can disable a task by clicking the "Power" button, which will change it to a "Power-Off" button. When a task is disabled, it will not run automatically according to its schedule. You can enable it again by clicking the "Power-Off" button, which will change it back to a "Power" button. Running a task manually is still possible when it is disabled.
