Automating actions with schedules

Schedules let you automate complex operations on environments and templates. For example, use schedules to do the following:

Start a test environment in the morning and suspend it at the end of the work day.
Create an online training class environment from a template at 9 AM and suspend it at 5 PM, every weekday.
Create a 30-day demo environment for a customer and delete it after 30 days.

A schedule will start at the date and time you specify. When the schedule is finished, it’s automatically deleted and a notification email is sent to you.
