Workflow scheduling allows you to execute a Data Orchestrator workflow on a recurring schedule, based on a [cron expression](/data-orchestrator/reference-content/cron-schedules/), in the `* * * * *` format, using the desired time zone.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- Created a [Data Orchestrator workflow](/data-orchestrator/how-to/create-workflow/)

1. Click **Data Orchestrator** in the **Data & Analytics** section of the [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) side menu. The list of your workflows displays.
2. Click the name of the workflow you want to manage. The workflow **Overview** tab displays.
3. Click the **Settings** tab.
4. Check the **Enable run scheduling** box.
5. Enter the cron expression and the time zone.
6. Click **Save changes**.
