First Run: The first scheduled run of this task
Next Run: The next scheduled run of this task
Final Run: If the task has an end date, this is the last scheduled run of the task

The schedules list may be sorted by any of the attributes from each column using the directional arrows. You can also search by name, date, or the name of the month in which a schedule runs.
Use the ON/OFF toggle next to the schedule name to enable/disable that schedule. Each schedule has a corresponding Actions column that has options to allow editing () or deleting () the schedule.
To create a new schedule:
Click the button, which opens the Add Schedule dialog.
Enter the appropriate details into the following fields:
Name (required)
Start Date (required)
Start Time (required)
Local Time Zone - The entered Start Time should be in this timezone
Repeat Frequency - Appropriate scheduling options are displayed depending on the frequency you select
The SCHEDULE DESCRIPTION displays when you established a schedule, allowing you to review the schedule settings and a list of the scheduled occurrences in the selected Local Time Zone.
Caution
Jobs are scheduled in UTC. Repeating jobs that run at a specific time of day may move relative to a local timezone when Daylight Savings Time shifts occur. Essentially, Tower resolves the local time zone based time to UTC when the schedule is saved. To ensure your schedules are correctly set, you should set your schedules in UTC time.
Once done, click Save.
You can use the ON/OFF toggle button to stop an active schedule or activate a stopped schedule.
You can access all your configured schedules by clicking the Schedules icon () from the left navigation bar.
