AutoSys Workload Automation

I am new to CA Autosys and I was asked a question of which I am hoping someone can help me to answer. 

What is the "Average Run Time" field and what does it indicate?  I found in the jobs properties after going into the Quick Edit tab. 

A customer asked me to set up a calendar for a job to run once per month in 2018 and asked me if I would have to also update the "Average Run Time" field from 6 to 12.  I wasn't sure as I don't know what the current value of 6 indicates. I took a snapshot of what I am am viewing.    

Thank you for your help and forgive me if I am missing any details,  please let me know and I'll provide.

The average run of the job. Including failures. How fast it has run in the course of its life in the db.

yes because the book is never wrong. The book tells you an initial setting and honestly this is one of those options that is unnecessary. 

As it bares little weight on anything...after the next run this goes away or it should because the DBMaint process dbstatistics is what actually sets it. 

and there endeth the lesson.
