ROI - Return On Investment

VisualCron is able to perform ROI - Return On Investments on the Jobs that are scheduled.

In VisualCron you can set a time value - how much time that Job saves you each time it runs - for example an hour. In combination you set an hourly rate - let say $50. This means that for each hour this Job returns $50 of the initial investment.

Currency, default time per Job and hourly rate per Job can be set generally in the Settings tab of the ROI window. It is possible to update all or selected Jobs with certain specific settings. It is also possible, on Job level, to override this.
