# Creating Bolt Schedules
export const Arcade = ({src, title}) =>
;
Bolt provides an intuitive UI-based method to create and manage your dbt™ job schedules. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a schedule using the Bolt UI.
While this guide focuses on UI-based scheduling, Bolt also supports YAML-based scheduling for users who prefer configuration-as-code. For YAML-based scheduling, please refer to our [documentation](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/index#yaml-based-schedules).
**Estimated completion time:** 10 minutes
**Prerequisites**
* Access to the [Bolt application](https://www.paradime.io/pricing) in Paradime
* A [Schedule Connection](/guides/paradime-101/getting-started-with-your-paradime-workspace/setting-up-data-warehouse-connections) to your data warehouse (AKA Production Connection)
* [At least one dbt™ model materialized in your dbt™ project](/guides/paradime-101/getting-started-with-the-paradime-ide/creating-a-dbt-model#id-4.-materialize-your-dbt-tm-model)
* Basic understanding of dbt™ commands
