Don't want to risk forgetting to manually set your game to 'Open'? No worries - you can schedule status changes for your Top X game (for example, automatically changing from "Pending" to "Open" at a specific time). However, scheduling can only be configured after the initial game creation.
Understanding the Process:
- Top X games are created in "Pending" status by default
- The scheduling functionality becomes available after the game is created
- You can set up scheduled status changes through the game editing page
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Create Your Game:
- Create your new Top X game as usual
- The game will be in "Pending" status by default
- Save the game first before proceeding with scheduling
- Access Scheduling Options:
- Return to your game's editing page
- Look for the "Schedule" section in the sidebar to the right
- Click to expand the scheduling options
- Configure Schedule:
- In the expanded Schedule section, you can now set up your desired status changes
- Select your target date and time
- Choose the status you want the game to change to
- Save your scheduling settings
Important Note:
- Scheduling options are not available during initial game creation
- You must first create and save the game before you can set up any scheduled status changes
- The legacy scheduler will be deprecated on April 1st, 2025. Please use the new scheduler functionality as described above.
