# Schedules

> Create recurring rank-check schedules and manage their members.

A schedule defines when its member keywords receive rank checks. It creates
planned runs that you can review in **Runs** before they start.

## Create a schedule

Open **Rank tracker**, then **Schedules**, and select **New schedule**. Give
the schedule a name, choose a cadence, and add the keywords that should belong
to it. You can also set its start window, check depth, and provider policy.

The schedule editor offers these recurring cadences:

| Cadence     | Setup                                                                     |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Daily       | Choose a time.                                                            |
| Weekly      | Choose a day of week and a time.                                          |
| Monthly     | Choose a day of month and a time.                                         |
| Custom cron | Enter a five-field cron expression. Runs must be at least one hour apart. |

The start window can delay a scheduled start by a random number of minutes.
Choose **None** to start exactly on time.

## Time zone

A new schedule uses the project's time zone unless you choose a specific IANA
time zone for that schedule. The selected time zone is used to calculate the
schedule's timing. Monthly and custom cron schedules use it as their wall-clock
anchor.

## Default schedule

Exactly one schedule is the default for a project. Newly tracked keywords join
that schedule automatically. Changing the default does not move the existing
members of the previous default schedule; it stays enabled with its members.

You cannot delete the default schedule. Choose another default first if you
need to remove it.

## Membership is exclusive

A keyword belongs to one schedule at a time. Adding a keyword to a schedule
moves it from any other schedule. Removing a keyword from a schedule returns it
to manual checking rather than adding it to another schedule automatically.

## Pause, skip, and run now

**Pause** stops future runs for the schedule. Resuming starts the cadence from
the current time and does not backfill missed occurrences.

Use **Skip once** in **Runs** > **Planned** when you only want to cancel one
future occurrence. It cancels that planned run and its queued targets without
pausing the schedule.

Use **Run now** in **Runs** > **Planned** to bring one planned or blocked run
forward immediately. It starts the existing planned occurrence instead of
creating a separate recurring schedule.
