===== Event Settings =====

The System Events table includes the following information for each event/task:

^Setting^Description^
|//Event//|Description of the event, including what it does.|
|//Enabled//|Most events cannot be disabled and will therefore show Enabled in this field.  Those which can be controlled by the user will have a checkbox.  Check the box to enable the event and uncheck to disable it.|
|//Hour//|Hour at which the event should be performed, using 24-hour format (e.g., for 1 pm, enter 13). \\ \\ //Events that occur more frequently than once per day will have the Hour field disabled.//|
|//Minute//|Minute at which the event should be performed. \\ \\ //Events that occur more frequently than once per day will have the Hour field disabled and the Minute field will represent the interval between one instance of the event and the next.//|
|//Retention (days)//|If this is a maintenance event for removing old log or database entries, this field may be set to the number of days to retain the information before it is deleted.  Otherwise, it is set to n/a (not applicable).|
|//ID//|Internal ID used for scheduling the event.  //Read-only.//|

==== Modify a Setting ====

For any field that may be edited, simply click on that field in the table and enter a valid value (or, where relevant, click on the checkbox to enable or disable it).  Then click **OK** to save your changes and close the dialog.
