Add schedule
Schedules allow users to run pipelines at set times, even periodically, with a choice of environment. This way, pipelines can be reused in different contexts and automated as desired.
Schedules can be viewed, created, and deleted from the Schedules tab in the Designer after a project is selected. Not added a project yet? Read Add project. You can also add a schedule from the pipeline canvas.
To create a schedule, you must have published the pipeline that the schedule will run, using the commit command from within the main
branch of Designer.
