Instead of running a new flow within an App every information needs to be updated, a schedule can be created to run an App automatically with updated data each time.

To add a schedule for an App:

1. Click the App History link in the left navigation bar on the Virtualitics AI Platform (VAIP) Home Page.
2. From the App History table, under Actions, click the Expand icon ( ).
3. Click Add Schedule.

From this point, you can set up a Repeating schedule or set up a schedule using a Cron String.

Repeating Schedule

With a Repeating Schedule, you can select a schedule with a starting date & time, a frequency the schedule is set to run, and an ending condition.

To create a Repeating Schedule:

1. Select your start date, time, and timezone.
2. Select your desired repeating intervals (minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months).
3. Select your ending condition (never, on a specific date, or after a specified number of occurrences).
4. Click Create Schedule.

Cron String

With Cron String, you can input a string consisting of subexpressions that describe individual details of a schedule, indicating when you would like your Flow to run.

To create a schedule using a Cron String:

1. In the Cron String Format field, enter your chosen cron string.
2. Choose an End Date and Time.
3. Click Create Schedule.

Note: Times in cron strings should be specified in UTC.
