Managing Schedules Overview

Schedules determine when scanners extract metadata from sources. You can have recurring daily, weekly, and monthly schedules to extract metadata at regular intervals. Create a reusable schedule if you want to assign multiple resources to the same schedule. If you choose to have a reusable schedule for metadata extraction, you can select from a list of existing schedules or create a different reusable schedule that meets your requirements.
Create custom schedules that you can assign to specific resources. You can assign separate schedules to resources to extract source metadata and profiling metadata. When you create a schedule, you can choose to have a schedule without an end date or that recurs until a specific date.
