Managing scheduled tasks is performed in the Advanced Task Scheduler's main window, which can be opened by
selecting the command Show Advanced Task Scheduler on the program's context menu, which pops up
by the program's icon in system tray or - through the hotkey, which you can select on the Run
tab of the preferences screen.
Advanced Task Scheduler's main window displays the list of scheduled tasks, which can be viewed as one of the
following: Large Icons, Small Icons, List and Details. When the Details view mode is selected, each item appears
in its own line with advanced information spread out by the columns. The advanced information includes the
following six columns:
| Name | Task name. |
| Task type | Task type (launch application, show reminder, etc.) |
| Schedule type | Detailed description of schedule type. |
| Schedule period | Period of time, when the task is allowed to be scheduled. |
| Last start time | Date and time when the task was last run. |
| Last start status | Status of the last task was start. |
| Next start time | Date and time when the task will be run next time. |
Creating new task
To create new scheduled task: select the command Add task on the menu Tasks or click the button  on the toolbar. This opens the dialog window with properties of the new task to be scheduled. Select the task type and its automatic start time, and then click the OK button to save the task or click the Cancel button to cancel creating new task.
Removing scheduled tasks
To delete scheduled task: select the command Remove task(s) from the menu Tasks or click the button  on the toolbar. You will be prompted for confirmation of the deletion and, if confirmed, the task will be removed from the list. Scheduled tasks can also be removed automatically after their schedule time has expired. To activate this feature: in the task properties window select the options Do not schedule task after this date and Remove task if it must no longer be run and enter the date, after which the task should no longer be run. The task will be deleted from the list automatically once its schedule period has expired.
Modifying task properties
To modify scheduled task's properties: select the command Task properties from the menu Tasks or click the button  on the toolbar. Also, to open scheduled task properties, you can simply press ENTER on the selected task. The dialog window with scheduled task's properties can be opened directly on the Schedule tab if you select the command Task schedule properties from the menu Tasks or click the button  on the toolbar.
Please note that scheduled tasks will be run only when Advanced Task Scheduler is running. To run Advanced Task Scheduler automatically during system logon, select the option Start program on system logon on the Run tab of the preferences screen.
