Changes to a schedule affect all jobs using the schedule.

Sharing - Allows other users to use the schedule when creating a scheduled job. This does not give other users permission to modify the schedule.
Start time - Set the Start “at” option for one-time schedules and the Start “between” option for repeating schedules.
Start date - Determines the date on which the schedule becomes active. Use for all schedules.
End date - Determines the date on which the schedule becomes inactive. Not applicable for one-time schedules, and is optional for repeating schedules.
Recurrence - Several options determine when a repeating schedule is active. You can activate the schedule by the minute, hour, or day by setting the repeat interval. Depending on the repeating interval, you may be able to restrict the schedule activity to certain days of the week or days of the month.

modify the Owner property.
You can modify the following Scheduled Job properties if you are the owner:
