About values required to schedule a job
To run a job, you must first provide required values for the Create a Job Instance wizard. Some required values, such as a job name and label, are required for all jobs. Other required values are specific to a particular job template.
For more information about values that are required to create a job with the wizard, see Schedule a job.
