The “Event scheduler” page enables you to schedule events that provide for specific actions to be applied to product prices within defined days and times. The actions provided by the event override other pricing rules applied by the optimization strategy, affecting product prices during the scheduled period.
To open the “Event scheduler” page go to Repricer navigation bar > Products > Event scheduler.
