# Schedules

## What can you do in the Schedules section?

In this tab, you can schedule your scans for automatic launching. This feature allows you to track the evolution of your technical debt through Full Scans.

This is a Quality Clouds admin action, available for admin users in the admin portal.

Your license comes with a limited number of scans. We recommend that you set your full scans every week or month, and your profiling scans every week.

Note: You can only set one schedule per each scan type, i.e. one profiling and one full scan schedule
