The Batch/Scheduled Jobs document allows users to edit the cron expression that specifies when the particular job should be scheduled. This interface is only for OLE-created jobs (Circulation jobs for example) and not KFS-inherited jobs. To learn more about each of the jobs available in Deliver, see Batch Processes in the OLE Guide to Deliver Module
You cannot create a new document. You must search for a job and choose to edit it from the search results.

Note
OLE uses the Quartz Job Scheduler as its authority on Cron expressions.
CRON enables users to schedule jobs to run periodically at certain times or dates. A CRON expression is a string comprised of 5 or 6 fields separated by white space that represents a set of times, normally as a schedule to execute some routine.
Example:
0 15 10 * * ?
0/2 0 12 * * ?
