+    Using the TSC library, you can schedule extract refresh or subscription

+    scheduled tasks, or delete scheduled tasks.
+
+    If you have the identifier of the job, you can use the TSC library to find
+    out the status of the asynchronous job.
+
+    The schedule properties are defined in the ScheduleItem class. The class
+    corresponds to the properties for schedules you can access in Tableau
+    Server or by using the Tableau Server REST API. The Schedule methods are
+    based upon the endpoints for jobs in the REST API and operate on the JobItem
+    class.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    name : str
+        The name of the schedule.
+
+    priority : int
+        The priority of the schedule. Lower values represent higher priority,

+
+    schedule_type : str
+        The type of task schedule. See ScheduleItem.Type for the possible values.
+
+    execution_order : str
+        Specifies how the scheduled tasks should run. The choices are Parallel
+        which uses all avaiable background processes for a scheduled task, or
+        Serial, which limits the schedule to one background process.
+
+    interval_item : Interval
+        Specifies the frequency that the scheduled task should run. The

+        interval_item has properties for frequency (hourly, daily, weekly,
+        monthly), and what time and date the scheduled item runs. You set this
