4. Type the information specified in the following table.

   Field Name	Description
   Interval Name	Name assigned to the interval.
   Description	Optional description of the interval.
   Interval Type	For internal use. This is always set to Periodic, unless Immediate Interval is used.
   Start Time	Time to start sending out notifications and to start counting down the time interval until the next batch.
   End Time	Time to stop sending out notifications.
   Time Interval (Hours)	Number of hours to wait after the start time or the last batch is sent, before sending out the next batch of notifications.
   Days	Used to select which days this interval is to run.

   The new notification interval can now be used in any workflow step notification.

If notifications are sent at an hourly or daily interval, there are sometimes several notifications pending for a particular user. In this case, all notifications are grouped together in one email message. The subject of each notification is displayed in a Summary section at the top of the email message.
