Create a schedule

Certain operations in FactoryTalk AssetCentre can be scheduled to run regularly at set intervals or at a specific time. If you create a schedule for a container, applicable devices in the container will automatically be added to the schedule. Any schedules you create are available for all FactoryTalk AssetCentre users in your system.
