Resources and Schedules

Resource schedules determine the frequency with which scanners extract metadata from the metadata sources. You can create schedules for specific resources or create reusable schedules that you want to assign to multiple resources.
You can create schedules that have an end date or schedules that run indefinitely. In addition to a start date, you can also set up the start time based on when you want scanners to start extracting metadata.
