When multiple clients require similar operations to be scheduled you can create a schedule policy as a scheduling template and attach it to the clients. Schedule policies give you the flexibility to modify or alter job schedules from one central location. The modifications are automatically reflected in the associated schedules for all clients associated with that schedule policy. For more information about Schedule Policies, see Schedule Policy - Getting Started.
