You can reach the scheduler with the menu pick Tournaments=>schedule.  Your tournament must have the property use scheduler set.


The page displayed is the Scheduler Dashboard.  The screen shot below shows the dashboard for a tournament at the start of the scheduling process. Note there are no teams competing at this tournament (Teams at Tournament indicates Total Teams: 0).  As we start using the scheduler, teams and rooms will be added.


Like the Tournament Dashboard, the Scheduler Dashboard is broken down into sections: Schedule Overview, Teams at Tournament,... The left column (Progress) shows your progress in scheduling the tournament.  The middle column (Actions) contains buttons related to the section.  The right column (Details) supplies further detail on the section.


The buttons on the dashboard mostly take you to a page to perform a scheduler action as explained in the table below.
