When you create a schedule, you configure when the schedule runs. You can add jobs to the schedule when you create it or you can save the schedule and add jobs to it later.

You might define a schedule to automate routine tasks or manage resource usage in the domain. For example, you can schedule large mappings to run at different times to prevent the mappings from overloading the nodes. You can also pause the schedule to prevent the jobs from running during holidays or during domain maintenance.
