A maximum of 10 different schedules can be created.

How to create and assign schedules for packages that do not have fixed issues

Assign the schedule to a class on the left side of the page by selecting schedule from the drop-down box. 3. To create another schedule, select ‘Create New’ from the class drop-down box. 4. Users can also delete the schedules. Ensure that the schedule is unassigned from any classes before deleting.
