How to use the Schedule model as a process instantiation plan

In order to use a schedule as a process instantiation plan, the Schedule model must be assigned to a start object (event, function, or rule). Assignment to functions and rules enables process instantiation plans to be used in model types for which start events are not required, such as Business process diagrams, for example. During the simulation run, the process instances are generated at the relevant objects in accordance with the assigned schedule and the start and end times of the simulation. If the simulation time period has been defined with a duration rather than with start and end times, the current date of the simulation run is used as the start time of the simulation run and the end time is calculated on the basis of the start time and the duration. If the Frequency attribute of an event or function has been specified and a process instantiation plan has also been assigned, the process instantiation plan takes priority over the attribute specified for the event.
