Whats the point of schedule in ATF?

[nikhil79]

In ATF, ServiceNow has provided a feature called - Scheduled/Suites Schedules.

But when I created a schedule, I saw that my schedule was getting skipped.

Later on, when I was searching through community, it mentioned that a person has to be logged in and the scheduled client test runner should be active.

What's the point of schedule, if we have to be active and have to manually start a client test runner as well?

Is there a way to run it on mid-server or cloud without a person's involvement?

@Sid_Takali  & @Yashsvi ,
Apologies, I think I didn't frame my question well.

I had already went through the articles that you had shared, but if we have to be logged in during the scheduled time, then what's the point of scheduled suites? Its just a matter of clicking "Execute now" button.
