You can use various tools for scheduling actions or tasks to happen in the
future.

Maintenance schedules
:   Changes to the CMDB can be managed through the Maintenance Schedules plugin, which
    enables changes to be proposed and viewed through a timeline.

On-call rotation
:   The Group On-Call Rotation plugin enables a schedule to be defined to determine what
    users are primary contacts during particular hours of the day.

Scheduled reports
:   Once you define reports, you can schedule them for emailing at a specific time, or at
    regular intervals, using the reporting interface.

Scheduled workflows
:   Workflows provide a robust system for automating advanced multi-step processes.
    Workflows are triggered by conditions, like business rules, or they can be scheduled for a
    particular time/recurring schedule, like scheduled jobs.

Scheduled jobs
:   Scheduled jobs are scripts you can specify should automatically generate at a specific
    date and time, or on a repeating basis.
