Configure the schedule

Once the variant, target, and goal settings for the experiment have been configured, you can configure the schedule in order to define when the experiment will run.

You configure the schedule for the experiment by clicking on the Start button in the experiment configuration header panel. This provides you with two options:

• Start Now: This starts the experiment immediately with an end date set 28 days from when you click the button.
• Start on schedule: This opens the schedule configuration panel which allows you to specify a start and end date for the experiment.

Note: Clicking outside the schedule configuration panel will close the panel without saving any changes you have made.

You can enter a date and time manually in the Start Date and End Date boxes, or you can click on the calendar and clock icons in the boxes to select a date and time from the pickers displayed.

The schedule configuration panel also displays the time zone associated with your account so you can see what time zone is used for the schedule.

When you have finished configuring the schedule for the experiment you can save your changes by clicking on the Save button. If you click on the Cancel button, the schedule configuration panel retracts and changes are not saved. If you click on the Delete Schedule button, which is only displayed for scheduled experiments, the schedule for that experiment is deleted and the schedule configuration panel retracts.
