Click the "Show" link to expand this task feature.

The Task Name field allows you to provide a custom task name for your Scheduled Task.

Under Schedule Date, the task tool defaults the task to run or install at the next agent heartbeat (heartbeats run on a 15 minute interval). You can click the Schedule Future Date link and use the calendar tool to configure a custom schedule date.

The Account section identifies the Account for which the task is being scheduled. Currently, users can only schedule tasks for one account at a time in the account in which they're accessing AMP.

The Select VMs button brings up a list of Virtual Machines in a side window. From here, users can select multiple Virtual Machines for their scheduled task. Clicking the Select # VMS button will save the VM selections. The button will show the number of VMs selected.
