"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:

  1. Click Dashboard and then the All Plans tab.
  2. Locate the plan in the list and click the edit icon  to display the plan's configuration pages.
  3. Click the Plan Details tab.
  4. Choose Cron Based Scheduling from the Build Strategy list (under 'Build Strategy').
  5. Click the edit icon () next to the current schedule to display the Schedule Editor.
  6. 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.
  7. Click Save.
