Steps

  1. On the dashboard, select Automation in the robot control panel.

Automation control panel - run or schedule

  1. The Automation control panel opens. Your saved scripts are listed. Select the script you want to schedule.

Schedule timing options

Timing options (interval, cron)

  1. To schedule, set the timing options (e.g. interval or cron).

Scheduled job in Automation panel

  1. After scheduling, the job appears in the Automation control panel. You can see when it will run next and use the options to turn it off or delete it.

Scheduled scripts and next run time

  1. When a script is running, this is shown next to the Automation button on the robot control panel on the dashboard.
