Scheduling infrastructure: Adding a new event

The Lens Infrastructure Availability Manager (IAM) is responsible for scheduling when infrastructure groups are powered on and off. IAM is controlled by an easy-to-use calendar interface that allows administrators to easily schedule multiple power-on and power-off events per day. This article will explain how to create a new event.

1. Login to the Lens Portal

2. In the left sidebar expand the Configuration menu and select the Infrastructure option

3. Under the Scheduling section, select the Calendar option

4. Select the tab that corresponds with the day you would like the schedule item to run
   

   

5. Click the Add button

6. You will now see an Add event modal appear
