Task Mode
The Task Mode dialog is used to define the way that a Task is triggered. A Task has five different trigger modes, which can be set by right-clicking on the Task in the Project Explorer and selecting Task Mode.
By default, the Task is setup to execute manually when a script calls the $Tasks.{TaskName}.Run() function.
