+==== What tasks do i set up in my CRON Jobs? ====
+\\
+There are two tasks that must run:
+  * **Common task** that may run every 5-15 minutes, that closes current expiring auctions and notifies winners/auctioneers.
+  * **Daily task** that runs once a day, which takes care of cleanups, updates the exchange rates for currencies and notifies users of upcoming auctions (in the next 24 hours)
+Our recommendation is to set up the common at a 5 minutes pace and the daily at midnight.
+\\
+You can find exact links for your site by going to the component Settings - CRON Information
+\\
+{{gallery> joomla30:auctionfactory:cron_info_backend.png }}
+\\
+These are the links you must set up to be accessed in CRON, for documentation purposes we only show the links for Auction Factory:
+\\
+    * Common task: **[Yoursite]/index.php?option=com_auctionfactory&controller=crontask&pass=**
+    * Daily task: **[Yoursite]/index.php?option=com_auctionfactory&controller=crontask&daily=1&pass=**
+\\
+You can set up / change the password for the CRON jobs in Settings - //General Settings, first tab - CRON Settings area//.
+\\
+Detailed CRON information for all our extension can be found [[:cronjob| at this link.]]
