With a schedule of events created, Power Manager’s Scheduler is ready. Events with predictable trigger dates will appear in the Engine view of the application, in the menu bar, and in the Notification Centre.

On-demand events can be triggered manually at any time. On-demand events are a great way to trigger frequently used scripts and workflows.
