Type of schedule
PADS4 Scheduler supports three types of schedules, each offering different levels of flexibility and complexity to meet a wide range of content deployment needs.
Note:
All three types of schedules support recurrence, allowing you to repeat schedules over a defined time pattern (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
