Note: This page is not displayed for execution plans that are assigned to a testing cycle.

The Schedule page is used to define schedules for execution plans, folders, configuration suites, and report subscriptions.

The page provides the following schedule types:

Schedule Type	Description
None	Click this option button so that the asset is not executed based on a schedule. All schedules included in a copy or baseline of a project are initially set to None.
Global	Click this option button to select a predefined schedule from the list box for the asset. Selecting a global schedule includes the schedule exclusions and definite runs which are defined in the global schedule. For information on defining global schedules, see the Administration topics in this Help. Selecting a global schedule displays the schedule details below the Custom option button.
Custom	Click this option button to define a custom schedule for the execution plan, folder, or configuration suite. Click Edit to edit the custom schedule in the fields below.

For each selected schedule type, the page displays details. For a custom schedule, the details are editable.

CAUTION:

If tests assigned to an asset are not executed, the reason might be that the asset is still executing because of an earlier schedule, and the schedule interval is shorter than the duration of the execution. In this case, either increase the schedule interval, improve the performance of the executed tests, or remove tests from the execution plan. To view the application server logfile, click the Application Server Log tab in Administration > Log Files .
