   Table 1. Create New Asset attestation schedule form

   Field	Description
   Attestation schedule details
   Schedule number	Unique identifier for the attestation schedule.
   Schedule name	Name of the asset attestation schedule.
   Frequency (days)	Frequency in days when the asset attestation schedule must create an asset attestation.
   State	Status of the asset attestation schedule.
   Schedule start date	Date on which the attestation schedule should be processed for the first time to create an asset attestation. Note: The Schedule start date must be at least the current date and can't be in the past.
   Schedule end date	Date on which the attestation schedule should be processed for the last time to create an asset attestation. Note: The Schedule end date should be after the schedule start date.
   Requested by	User who is creating the attestation schedule.
   Next scheduled run	Date on which the attestation schedule is planned to be run the next time. This field is updated automatically only after the asset attestation schedule is processed successfully to create an asset attestation. Also, this field is populated based on the value in the Frequency (days) field. For example, if the Schedule start date is set to 2024-01-01 and the Frequency is set to 10, then the following events happen: An asset attestation is first created on 2024-01-01. The Next scheduled run field is set to 2024-01-11 automatically.
   Model categories	Model categories of the assets for which the attestation schedule is created. Note: You can select more than one model categories. However, you can only select the model categories that belong to the resources categories that are opted-in and that don't need a license.
   User Criteria
   Filter	Set conditions to select employees who are required to confirm assets through the asset attestation request. For example, if you want to select employees who belong to Development department, you can set the Department field to Development and then select Set.
   Work notes
   Work notes	Comments related to the asset attestation schedule.

   Note:

   The following fields on the form are automatically populated:
