# Create Schedule Scenario

:lock: ScheduleScenario.**Create**

## Overview

To create a **Schedule Scenario** for a **Schedule**, select **Create New Schedule Scenario** from the **Scenarios** Tab of a **Schedule**.

## Preconditions

* If the current **Schedule** has an owner role defined, the user must belong to that role.

## Sequence Of Steps

This section contains the information associated with the creation of a **Schedule Scenario**. The wizard is accessible from the **Scenarios** Tab within a **Schedule**, by selecting the **Create** dropdown on top of the Scenarios grid, followed by **New Schedule Scenario**.

1. Enter a Name.
2. Optionally, enter a Description.
3. Choose the Planning Start Date (defaults to the current date/time).
4. Choose the Type for the **Schedule Scenario**. Available options are:

      * OperationalScheduleAccurate - Schedules only already existing **Materials**, that is, it only takes in consideration work in progress (WIP). It will attempt to schedule all the jobs for all the materials which have at least one job starting within the planning horizon.
      * OperationalScheduleFast - Schedules only already existing **Materials**, that is, it only takes in consideration work in progress (WIP). It will attempt to predict, for each **Material**, which jobs will fall within the fast planning horizon - these jobs will be scheduled, and a rough cut estimation.
      * OperationalScheduleFast.
      * PlanningSchedule.

5. Optionally, override the Planning Horizon, (in days), defined in the **Schedule**.
6. Optionally, override the Frozen Period, (in hours), defined in the **Schedule**.
