# Transformation Schedules

> Schedule transformations in Cognite Data Fusion (CDF).

Transformation schedules let you run transformations automatically at defined intervals using cron expressions. You can create, update, pause, and delete schedules.

## How schedules work

Each schedule is linked to a specific transformation and defines when it should run. Use standard cron syntax to specify intervals (for example, hourly, daily, or at custom times). When the schedule triggers, it creates a new transformation job.

## Managing schedules

Create a schedule when you need recurring data processing. Update the cron expression to change the frequency. Pause a schedule to temporarily stop automatic runs without losing the configuration. Delete a schedule when it is no longer needed.

<Info>
  Schedules run in the project's time zone unless configured otherwise. Ensure cron expressions align with your expected schedule.
