# Scheduler (Add Scheduler)

# Overview

The **Add Scheduler** section allows administrators to automate various actions within the application. A scheduler can be configured to execute a specific action at a predefined date and time without requiring manual intervention.

Schedulers are commonly used to automatically **Enable** or **Disable** application content, categories, products, packages, and other supported modules.

---

# Add Schedule

To create a new scheduler:

1. Navigate to **Modules → Schedulers → Add**.
2. Select the **Type** of scheduler.
3. Choose the required **Category** or supported item.
4. Configure the scheduler action.
5. Select the **Start Date & Time**.
6. Select the **End Date & Time** (if required).
7. Click **Submit** to save the scheduler.

# Scheduler Configuration

The **Add Scheduler** page contains the following options:

| Field | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Type** | Select the type of scheduler to be created. |
| **Category** | Select the category or item on which the scheduler will perform the action. |
| **Start Date & Time** | Specifies when the scheduler should begin executing. |
| **End Date & Time** | Specifies when the scheduled action should end. |

# Scheduler Actions

The scheduler supports the following actions:

### Enable

Automatically enables the selected content, making it available according to the configured schedule.

### Disable

Automatically disables the selected content after the scheduled time.

### Reverse Action

The **Reverse Action** option automatically performs the opposite action once the scheduled duration is completed.

For example:

- If the scheduler **Enables** a category, the **Reverse Action** will automatically **Disable** it after the configured end time.
- Similarly, if the scheduler **Disables** a category, the **Reverse Action** can automatically **Enable** it again.

# Schedule Type

Administrators can choose how the scheduler should execute.

### Single Schedule

Executes the configured action **only once** at the specified date and time.

### Double Schedule

Allows administrators to configure both a **Start** and **End** schedule, enabling automatic execution of an action followed by its reverse action if configured.

---

# Manage Schedulers

Administrators can:

- Create new schedulers.
- Schedule automatic Enable or Disable actions.
- Configure Reverse Actions.
- Set Start and End execution times.
- Automate repetitive tasks without manual intervention.

---

# Best Practices

- Verify the selected category before creating a scheduler.
- Double-check the Start and End date/time.
- Use **Reverse Action** when content needs to be automatically restored.
- Use **Single Schedule** for one-time tasks.
- Use **Double Schedule** for temporary activations or deactivations.

---

> **Important:**  
> After configuring the scheduler, click the **Submit** button to save it. Once the scheduled time is reached, the configured action will be executed automatically. If **Reverse Action** is enabled, the system will automatically perform the opposite action at the scheduled end time.
