   Crontask Name	Name of the crontask
   Description	Description of the crontask
   Resource Group	Select a test resource group for the crontask. You can select a shared resource group or an existing private resource group for a PerfTest project.

   Enterprise Project	Select the corresponding enterprise project. NOTE: This option is unavailable for personal accounts.
   Run Frequency	Frequency of running the crontask. Option: Run only once and Run regularly. Run only once: The task is executed only once at the time set in Date of running. Run regularly: The period settings can be Monthly, Weekly, and Advanced. Monthly: The task is executed every month on the specified running date (one day or multiple days) and time. Weekly: The task is executed every week on the specified running date (one day or multiple days) and time. Advanced: The task is repeatedly executed based on crontab expressions.
