+You can fetch artifacts from a job created with [`parallel:matrix`](../yaml/index.md#parallelmatrix)
+by using the [`dependencies`](../yaml/index.md#dependencies) keyword. Use the job name
+as the value for `dependencies` as a string in the form:
+
+```plaintext
+<job_name> [<matrix argument 1>, <matrix argument 2>, ... <matrix argument N>]
+```
+
+For example, to fetch the artifacts from the job with a `RUBY_VERSION` of `2.7` and
+a `PROVIDER` of `aws`:
+
+```yaml
+ruby:
+ image: ruby:${RUBY_VERSION}
+ parallel:
+ matrix:
+ - RUBY_VERSION: ["2.5", "2.6", "2.7", "3.0", "3.1"]
+ PROVIDER: [aws, gcp]
+ script: bundle install
+
+deploy:
+ image: ruby:2.7
+ stage: deploy
+ dependencies:
+ - "ruby: [2.7, aws]"
+ script: echo hello
+```
+
+Quotes around the `dependencies` entry are required.

+- Use [interruptible](../yaml/index.md#interruptible) jobs which can be auto-canceled
+ if a new pipeline starts.
+- If a job doesn't have to run in every pipeline, use [`rules`](../jobs/job_control.md)
+ to make it only run when it's needed.
+- [Use private runners](../runners/runners_scope.md#group-runners) for some jobs.
+- If you are working from a fork and you submit a merge request to the parent project,
+ you can ask a maintainer to run a pipeline [in the parent project](merge_request_pipelines.md#run-pipelines-in-the-parent-project).
+
+If you manage an open source project, these improvements can also reduce CI/CD minutes
+consumption for contributor fork projects, enabling more contributions.

-# Pipeline schedules **(FREE)**
+# Scheduled pipelines **(FREE)**
-Pipelines are normally run based on certain conditions being met. For example, when a branch is pushed to repository.
-
-Pipeline schedules can be used to also run [pipelines](index.md) at specific intervals. For example:
-
-- Every month on the 22nd (cron example: `0 0 22 * *`) for a certain branch.
-- Every month on the 2nd Monday (cron example: `0 0 * * 1#2`).
-- Every other Sunday at 0900 hours (cron example: `0 9 * * sun%2`).
-- Once every day (cron example: `0 0 * * *`).
-
-Schedule timing is configured with [cron notation](../../topics/cron/index.md).
-You can use any cron value, but scheduled pipelines cannot run more frequently
-than the instance's [maximum frequency for scheduled pipelines](#advanced-configuration).
-
-In addition to using the GitLab UI, pipeline schedules can be maintained using the
-[Pipeline schedules API](../../api/pipeline_schedules.md).
+Use scheduled pipelines to run GitLab CI/CD [pipelines](index.md) at regular intervals.
## Prerequisites
-In order for a scheduled pipeline to be created successfully:
-
-- The schedule owner must have [permissions](../../user/permissions.md) to merge into the target branch.
-- The pipeline configuration must be valid.
-
-Otherwise the pipeline is not created.
-
-## Configuring pipeline schedules
-
-To schedule a pipeline for project:
-
-1. Navigate to the project's **CI/CD > Schedules** page.
-1. Click the **New schedule** button.
-1. Fill in the **Schedule a new pipeline** form.
-1. Click the **Save pipeline schedule** button.
-
-![New Schedule Form](img/pipeline_schedules_new_form.png)
-
-NOTE:
-Pipelines execution [timing is dependent](#advanced-configuration) on Sidekiq's own schedule.
-
-In the **Schedules** index page you can see a list of the pipelines that are
-scheduled to run. The next run is automatically calculated by the server GitLab
-is installed on.
-
-![Schedules list](img/pipeline_schedules_list.png)
-
-### Using variables
-
-You can pass any number of arbitrary variables. They are available in
-GitLab CI/CD so that they can be used in your [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file](../../ci/yaml/index.md).
-
-![Scheduled pipeline variables](img/pipeline_schedule_variables.png)
-
-### Using `rules`
-
-To configure a job to be executed only when the pipeline has been
-scheduled, use the [`rules`](../yaml/index.md#rules) keyword.
-
-In this example, `make world` runs in scheduled pipelines, and `make build`
-runs in branch and tag pipelines:
-
-```yaml
-job:on-schedule:
- rules:
- - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule"
- script:
- - make world
-
-job:
- rules:
- - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "push"
- script:
- - make build
-```
-
-### Advanced configuration **(FREE SELF)**
-
-Scheduled pipelines can be configured with any [cron value](../../topics/cron/index.md),
-but they do not always run exactly when scheduled. An internal process, called the
-_pipeline schedule worker_, queues all the scheduled pipelines, but does not
-run continuously. The worker runs on its own schedule, and scheduled pipelines that
-are ready to start are only queued the next time the worker runs. Scheduled pipelines
-can't run more frequently than the worker.
-
-The default frequency of the pipeline schedule worker is `3-59/10 * * * *` (every ten minutes,
-starting with `0:03`, `0:13`, `0:23`, and so on). The default frequency for GitLab.com
-is listed in the [GitLab.com settings](../../user/gitlab_com/index.md#gitlab-cicd).
-
-To change the frequency of the pipeline schedule worker:
-
-1. Edit the `gitlab_rails['pipeline_schedule_worker_cron']` value in your instance's `gitlab.rb` file.
-1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes to take effect.
-
-For example, to set the maximum frequency of pipelines to twice a day, set `pipeline_schedule_worker_cron`
-to a cron value of `0 */12 * * *` (`00:00` and `12:00` every day).
+For a scheduled pipeline to run:
-## Working with scheduled pipelines
+- The schedule owner must have the Developer role. For pipelines on protected branches,
+ the schedule owner must be [allowed to merge](../../user/project/protected_branches.md#configure-a-protected-branch)
+ to the branch.
+- The [CI/CD configuration](../yaml/index.md) must be valid.
-After configuration, GitLab supports many functions for working with scheduled pipelines.
+Otherwise, the pipeline is not created. No error message is displayed.
-### Running manually
+## Add a pipeline schedule

+1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Schedules**.
+1. Select **New schedule** and fill in the form.
+ - **Interval Pattern**: Select one of the preconfigured intervals, or enter a custom
+ interval in [cron notation](../../topics/cron/index.md). You can use any cron value,
+ but scheduled pipelines cannot run more frequently than the instance's
+ [maximum scheduled pipeline frequency](../../administration/cicd.md#change-maximum-scheduled-pipeline-frequency).
+ - **Target branch or tag**: Select the branch or tag for the pipeline.
+ - **Variables**: Add any number of [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md) to the schedule.
+ These variables are available only when the scheduled pipeline runs,
+ and not in any other pipeline run.
-This schedules a background job to run the pipeline schedule. A flash
-message provides a link to the CI/CD Pipeline index page.
+## Run manually
-NOTE:
-To help avoid abuse, users are rate limited to triggering a pipeline once per
-minute.
+To trigger a pipeline schedule manually, so that it runs immediately instead of
+the next scheduled time:
-### Taking ownership
+1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Schedules**.
+1. On the right of the list, for
+ the pipeline you want to run, select **Play** (**{play}**).
-Pipelines are executed as a user, who owns a schedule. This influences what projects and other resources the pipeline has access to.
+You can manually run scheduled pipelines once per minute.
-If a user does not own a pipeline, you can take ownership by clicking the **Take ownership** button.
-The next time a pipeline is scheduled, your credentials are used.
+## Take ownership
-![Schedules list](img/pipeline_schedules_ownership.png)
+Scheduled pipelines execute with the permissions of the user
+who owns the schedule. The pipeline has access to the same resources as the pipeline owner,
+including [protected environments](../environments/protected_environments.md) and the
+[CI/CD job token](../jobs/ci_job_token.md).
-If the owner of a pipeline schedule cannot create
-pipelines on the target branch, the schedule stops creating new
-pipelines.
+To take ownership of a pipeline created by a different user:
-This can happen if, for example:
+1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Schedules**.
+1. On the right of the list, for
+ the pipeline you want to become owner of, select **Take ownership**.
-- The owner is blocked or removed from the project.
-- The target branch or tag is protected.
+## Related topics

+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213729) in GitLab 14.9 [with a flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ci_trigger_forward_variables`. Disabled by default.
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available,
+ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ci_trigger_forward_variables`.
+The feature is not ready for production use.
+
+Use `trigger:forward` to specify what to forward to the downstream pipeline. You can control
+what is forwarded to both [parent-child pipelines](../pipelines/parent_child_pipelines.md)
+and [multi-project pipelines](../pipelines/multi_project_pipelines.md).
+
+**Possible inputs**:
+
+- `yaml_variables`: `true` (default), or `false`. When `true`, variables defined
+ in the trigger job are passed to downstream pipelines.
+- `pipeline_variables`: `true` or `false` (default). When `true`, [manual pipeline variables](../variables/index.md#override-a-defined-cicd-variable)
+ are passed to downstream pipelines.
+
+**Example of `trigger:forward`**:
+
+[Run this pipeline manually](../pipelines/index.md#run-a-pipeline-manually), with
+the CI/CD variable `MYVAR = my value`:
+
+```yaml
+variables: # default variables for each job
+ VAR: value
+
+# Default behavior:
+# - VAR is passed to the child
+# - MYVAR is not passed to the child
+child1:
+ trigger:
+ include: .child-pipeline.yml
+
+# Forward pipeline variables:
+# - VAR is passed to the child
+# - MYVAR is passed to the child
+child2:
+ trigger:
+ include: .child-pipeline.yml
+ forward:
+ pipeline_variables: true
+
+# Do not forward YAML variables:
+# - VAR is not passed to the child
+# - MYVAR is not passed to the child
+child3:
+ trigger:
+ include: .child-pipeline.yml
+ forward:
+ yaml_variables: false
+```
+
### `variables`
[CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md) are configurable values that are passed to jobs.
