Scheduling is an optional step, and you can skip it if you don't want to schedule your audits

• Scheduling: If you want to schedule your porfolio to run at a defined interval without manual intervention, you can select the I would like to schedule my audits option and fill in the frequency (Daily, Weekly or Every X hours) and time details for it.
