+![Alt text](http://www.fabioformosa.it/quartz-manager/quartz-manager-screenshot_800.png "Quartz Manager Screenshot")
+
+## HOW IT WORKS
+* Set up the trigger into the left sidebar in terms of: daily frequency and and max occurrences.
+* Press the start button
+* The GUI manager updates the progress bar and reports all logs of your quartz job.
+
+## HOW IT RUNS
+1. Quartz-Manager is a Spring Boot Application. To run by CLI  `mvn spring-boot:run` or through your IDE. For more details [spring boot ref.](http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-running-your-application.html)
+1. Open quartz-manager at the link: [http://localhost:9000/quartz-manager/manager](http://localhost:9000/quartz-manager/manager)
+1. Log in with default credentials: `admin/admin`
+
+## HOW RUN YOUR JOB
+By default, quartz-manager executes the dummy job that logs "hello world!".
+Replace the dummy job (class: `it.fabioformosa.quartzmanager.jobs.SampleJob`) with yours. Follow these steps:
+
+1. Let extend the super class `it.fabioformosa.quartzmanager.jobs.AbstractLoggingJob`
+1. Change the scheduler settings, providing the class name of your job. Open class `it.fabioformosa.quartzmanager.configuration.SchedulerConfig` and for the method `jobDetail` replace SampleJob.class with YourJob.class
+
+## HOW CHANGE SETTINGS
+* Num of Threads: `/quartz-manager/src/main/resources/quartz.properties`
+* Credentials: `it.fabioformosa.quartzmanager.configuration.WebSecurityConfig`
+* Server context path (default `/quartz-manager`) and port (default `9000`): `/quartz-manager/src/main/resources/application.properties`
