Types of Schedulers
RobilityManager provides different type of schedulers where you can deploy your automation workflows based on the preference. This helps in better planning and resource allocation ensuring that critical tasks on completed on time.

6. Under the TimeZone parameter, select the appropriate time zone from the drop-down menu to match the machine’s time settings.
7. Click Save to complete the scheduling. The bot will now execute multiple runs within the scheduled day.
Daily Multiple Schedulers
The daily multiple schedulers allow you to schedule robot multiple times within a day. For example, you can set robots to run every few hours or at specific intervals throughout the day for continuous automation.
