    2. Under Resource Scheduler, click Schedules.
    3. Under Create a Schedule, click Schedules. The Create a schedule Basic information dialog box opens.

    5. Optional: Enter a Schedule description
    6. Use the Action to run menu to select either Start or Stop.
    7. Optional: Click Show advanced options to display the advanced options section. In this section, you can add tags to organize the schedules. Tags provide easy access to selected resources and you to group them for quick scheduling.
