Overview

If you schedule a promotion to be run at a later time on the Promote Bundle... dialog, the Controller creates a record for that promotion.

The Promotion Schedules list identifies all scheduled promotions.

It also lists all scheduled promotions that have completed (where they can be rescheduled to run again) for the number of days specified by the Promotion Schedule Retention Period In Days Universal Controller system property.
