# Specifying the Page to Execute

When you schedule a ColdFusion page to execute, the page can be local or remote. With the proper access rights, you can schedule a page on a remote server by specifying the server name in the URL field.

| Specify the application page to execute:

1. Enter the URL for the page you want to execute in the URL text entry box. This is not limited to local pages. You can execute pages on a remote ColdFusion server as well, assuming you have the proper access rights to do so.
2. Specify a username and password as necessary if the page you want to execute is secured in a directory that requires a username and password for access.
3. Enter a request timeout setting. The timeout setting helps avoid requests that stall because of an overloaded web server, network problem, or a page that takes too long to execute for whatever reason.
4. If requests need to be routed through a proxy server, enter the URL for that server.
