name : put-scheduled-action.rst **To add a scheduled action to a DynamoDB table** This example adds a scheduled action to a DynamoDB table called `TestTable` to scale out on a recurring schedule. On the specified schedule (every day at 12:15pm UTC), if the current capacity is below the value specified for MinCapacity, Application Auto Scaling scales out to the value specified by MinCapacity.
