SQL Server job schedule information

When we schedule a SQL server agent job, all schedule information is stored on the system table sysschedules table in MSDB
With the help of below sql script we will get the all details about the job.
select DISTINCT
sj.name As [job name],sysc.name as [job category],
sjc.step_name as [Step name],sjc.subsystem,
sc.name as [schedule name],
sc.enabled,sc.freq_type,
sc.freq_interval,sc.freq_subday_interval,
sc.active_start_date,sc.active_end_date,
sc.date_created,sc.date_modified
from sysjobs sj
inner join syscategories sysc
ON sysc.category_id=sj.category_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sysjobsteps sjs
on sjs.job_id=sj.job_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sysjobsteps sjc
ON SJ.job_id = sjc.job_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sysschedules sc
on sc.schedule_id=sjc.step_id


We will get below information
