The run on GnuCash start can be altered in the preferences. To run the Since Last Run assistant manually go to Actions -> Scheduled Transactions -> Since Last Run...
The Since Last Run assistant will automatically skip any screens that have no transactions. The following describes every possible screen the assistant will show. The three buttons at the very bottom of the screen will not change while using the assistant.
The Cancel button is used to exit the assistant and cancel entering the transactions. Any selections you have made in this assistant up to this point will be lost.
The Back button will bring up the previous screen so you can change a selection made on that screen.
The Forward button will bring up the next screen so you can continue though the assistant.
The first screen shows Transaction Reminders page. This lists scheduled transactions that have been set to give a reminder a number of days in advance. The screen contains three columns. The first column contains the name of the scheduled transaction and the date it is due. The second column contains the Frequency of the scheduled transaction. The third column has the number of Days Away the transaction is due to be entered. To create any transactions in the list instead of just being reminded, select the date line. This will add it to the list of transactions on the To-Create Transaction Preparation page.
The next screen shows the Auto-Created Transactions Notification page. This lists scheduled transactions that have been set to be automatically created and notify when they are created. Each transaction is presented in a register view that shows the details of the splits in the transaction.
The next screen shows the To-Create Transaction Preparation page. This lists scheduled transactions that are due to be entered in the register. This screen is divided into three panes.

The bottom pane contains a read only view of the transactions due to be entered.
The next screen shows the Created Transaction Review page. This screen displays the list of transactions about to be created and allows for final changes to be made. The list is presented in a register view that shows the details of the splits in the transaction. This is editable in the same way transactions are able to be edited in the register.
The last screen shows the Obsolete Scheduled Transactions page. This screen displays a list of scheduled transactions that are able to be deleted as the schedule is completed. Select the ones to be removed.
