About Overnight Global Rescheduling
The Global Schedule Utility provides a way to schedule new jobs and / or reschedule existing ones based on settings within the utility and on the work centers used. The Overnight Scheduling feature automatically triggers the Global Reschedule Utility to run every night at midnight. By using this feature, your schedule will have the most updated plan of action every morning when you open the shop.
