Hi Ola, sorry for the late reply. Would you mind adding the screenshots to the existing bug for the task scheduler? *Bug 3935* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3935> - Schedule tasks periodically I think they could be useful as mock-ups/ideas for a future development.

Kia ora Everyone,
I had a look at the Task scheduler in our version of Koha (20.11) and have a few improvements in mind:
By Adding a “when to send” dimension it would become possible to use the Task scheduler for repetitive (cron) reports.. E.g. We use our local task scheduler to send picking lists to staff to have books picked that have reservations/holds and that are to be transferred from the library to another branch.
These below are the main “when to send” values available to pick from in our local service doing similar job as Task scheduler:
*case **"OnRequest"*: *case **"OnContentChange"*: *case **"OnContentChangeOnceDaily"*: *case **"OnContentChangeEveryHour"*: *case **"WDOnContentChangeEveryHour"*: (WD = Week days – Mon-Fri) *case **"WDOnContentChangeEveryHour0717"*: *case **"OnContentChangeEveryHour0720"*: *case **"OnContentChangeEveryMonday"*: *case **"FirstDayEveryMonth"*: *case **"FirstDayEveryQuarter"*: *case **"EveryMonday"*: *case **"EveryTuesday"*: *case **"EveryWednesday"*: *case **"EveryThursday"*: *case **"EveryFriday"*: *case **"EverySaturday"*: *case **"EverySunday"*: *case **"EveryWorkDay"*: *case **"EveryDay"*:
The options using “OnContentChange” all uses crc32 checksums of the report content to validate if the report content has changed from last run or not.
These are the database field we use for our local version of “Task scheduler”:
It would be great if we could extend the task scheduler in line with this above.! I am here mainly submitting an idea and will not be able to develop the features..
