Setting up a workflow schedule

  1. Navigate to Workflow Schedules.
  2. Click Add to set up a schedule for the workflow.
  3. Specify a name for the schedule.
  4. Optionally, specify a description.
  5. Click the Schedule tab to configure the workflow schedule frequency. The rerunning frequency should go along the frequency of the variations in the data expected to affect the model and execution to generate the optimal solution.

    For example, new data on a daily or weekly basis probably will not change the model behavior. Monthly, seasonally, or yearly is a period where new data is acquired that is significant for the model execution.

    We recommend you complete a use case analysis to find the suitable frequency.

    1. Select the time zone.
    2. Specify a start date and time.
    3. Specify a recurrence pattern for the schedule.
    4. Click Show Preview to see a sample of how the schedule runs with the selected options.
  6. Click the Action tab.
  7. Select the name of the workflow to start with this schedule.
  8. Select the trigger workflow instance:
