Monthly scheduling

On monthly schedules, you can specify your collection schedules in two ways: By Days or By Weekdays. When By Days is selected, you can specify the numeric days in the month to collect the data. When By Weekdays is selected, you can specify the weekdays in the month the data is due for collection. You can also specify the monthly frequency for both types of monthly scheduling.
