Introduction

TDM5 allows you to create schedules for specific times and/or days. A schedule can be linked to content but also to an action like powering off your device. With this functionality you can schedule actions for events or other occasions without having to change the state of the devices manually. 

This article will describe how a content schedule can be created.
