# Schedules

A series of things to be done or of events to occur at or during a particular time or period. In the context of cfxOIA RDA pipelines construct, a schedule is a particular time or period that project admins preconfigure in order to run a pipeline or pipelines.

Schedules allow admins to perform nightly or periodic job execution for data updates and/or the periodic collection or to perform a logical task (e.g. Nagios alert enrichment or CMDB data collection or vROps attributes enrichment, etc).

cfxOIA RDA provides 'Schedules' functionality allowing users to define/create schedules to perform periodic execution of pipelines. The following screenshot depicts 'Schedules' UI functionality:
