Schedule a Mission

Goal: Schedule a mission to run later, once or on a recurring basis.

Before you begin

  • You need a saved mission template. See Create a mission.
  • You need permission to dispatch missions (typically Fleet Operator, Fleet Planner, or Fleet Manager).

Steps

  1. In the top navigation, click PathLab.
  2. On the toolbar, click Assign. The Assign Mission dialog opens.
  3. Under Robot, choose a Specific Robot or Any Capable Robot.
  4. Under Mission, select the template.
  5. Under When to Deploy, select Schedule for Later.
  6. Set the start date and time, and confirm the Timezone.
  7. To repeat the mission, check Make this a recurring mission, then pick a Schedule Type:
    • Weekly Schedule — under Repeat on, select the weekdays to run.
    • Interval — under Run every, set a number and a unit (for example, every 3 days).
  8. Set Schedule Ends if needed. An end date is optional for a weekly schedule but required for an interval schedule.
  9. (Optional) Set the Expected Duration.
  10. Confirm to save the schedule.

Scheduled runs appear in the Schedule panel, where you can review or remove them.
