"Cron-based scheduling" allows you to run builds based on a schedule. This schedule can be configured using the Schedule Editor or by using a cron expression.
The schedule can be daily (times per day), weekly (days per week), monthly (days per month) or based on a cron expression.
To schedule a plan build using a cron expression:
- Click Dashboard and then the All Plans tab.
- Locate the plan in the list and click the edit icon
to display the plan's configuration pages.
- Click the Plan Details tab.
- Choose Cron Based Scheduling from the Build Strategy list (under 'Build Strategy').
- Click the edit icon (
) next to the current schedule to display the Schedule Editor.
- Use the Schedule Editor (see screenshots below), to specify the build schedule for your plan. For information about cron expressions, see this FAQ: How do I construct a cron expression in Bamboo.
- Click Save.
