Schedule for non-scheduled reports.

Hi,
I have a report that the users can run whenever they want, so it has no schedule. But when I go into the scheduler it shows today as the schedule and the exact time when I went in. What does it mean? Does the report run with this schedule in background or is it just the default schedule for me incase if I want to use it by clicking ok? I have this question because I heard that unless you check the disable box at the top, the report will run (even it has no schedule) to the default schedule when you saved the report or when you last entered into the scheduler. Is it true? I need some clarification.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I understand it, all that means is that if you were to create a schedule, then [now] would be pre-populated as the starte date/time. That does not mean that a schedule exists, which you can easily confirm: For the report in question, click the "more..." option under actions. An unscheduled report will have "New schedule..." as the only option pertaining to schedules, whereas a report that has a schedule will not have that, but will instead have "Modify the schedule..." and "Remove the schedule".
