In Manager -> Searches and Reports -> [summary index], there is an option to select "Basic" or "Cron" Schedule type. What are the differences between the 2 schedule types?

"Basic" lets you pick from a drop down list of preset time schedules, "Cron" lets you specify a schedule in Cron format. OBviously the later is more flexable, but also more "advanced" than the basic options.
