# Scheduling an Axon in Turium

* [Setting Up a Schedule](#setting-up-a-schedule)

Batch data axons can be set to operate on a certain schedule and frequency, such as every 4 hours or weekly on Monday at 1:30 AM.

Once an axon has been designed and deployed, a schedule can be established for it.

### Setting Up a Schedule  <a href="#setting-up-a-schedule" id="setting-up-a-schedule"></a>

To set an axon to run on a schedule, carry out the following steps:

* Navigate to the Deploy Axon page, and click the Schedule button.
* Set up the schedule.
* Frequency
* Starting time (and date, if necessary)
* Maximum concurrent runs: The limit is 10. If the maximum number of runs is already in progress, the next scheduled run will be skipped.
* Compute profile (optional): If a profile is not designated for the schedule, the default profile will be used.
* After making your selections, click Save and Start Schedule to both save and start the schedule or Save Schedule to save the schedule without initiating it. To begin a saved schedule, click Schedule and then click Start Schedule.

Once a schedule has been created, you can change it, initiate it, or put it on hold. From the Deploy Axon page, once you Start a schedule, you can click the Unschedule button to pause the schedule.

Similarly, you can modify a schedule by clicking the Schedule button and altering the schedule parameters.
