AllSync Scheduler
The AllSync Scheduler enables automatic, time-based or event-based execution of your profiles. The settings for automatically starting one or more profiles are grouped into so-called tasks. All created tasks are clearly displayed in the task list. The Scheduler is available starting with the AllSync Professional Edition.
