Tasks scheduled Monthly occur on the same day of the month (for example, the 12th). If you select a day of the month that does not exist (29, 30, or 31 in some months), no task is scheduled for that month.

Task output files

You can output the exported files to a folder you specify, the Workgroup PDM vault, or both.
