You can use Periodic Calendars to schedule Jobs that should run according to time periods other than months and days. Periodic calendars are used to divide the year into working periods ( for example 4 quarter periods) instead of 12 months. Periods can be nonconsecutive, and of varying length, but no single period can exceed 255 days.
When creating periods, take note of how you are breaking up your period. For instance, if you are creating a period that is nonconsecutive, and the time between the two instances is 33 days or more, that period is considered to be a different occurrence.
The periods are specified in the calendar by a letter from A-Z or a digit from 0-9. You can create a period for multiple years. For example, if you have Period A which is January through March for the year 2019, you can select the same period for 2020 or multiple years.
When you schedule a Job in the Planning domain, and base your scheduling on a Periodic Calendar, you can select which periods the Job will run in, and add additional scheduling criteria.
