Hi @Roxanne Vo,

If this schedule is going to be repeated daily, I recommend using process flow instead of the source. Using process flow you can create a Date Time Source activity that allows you to schedule out the delivery times and repeat the schedule daily if needed. I have attached an example model with the process flow set up to deliver items at the given times you gave. It then creates items in the queue in the model to show how it can be to create items like a source.

Is there ANY way that it is possible without process flow?

@Roxanne Vo,

It is possible to do it with an arrival schedule on your source, you need to make sure that you repeat your table and have an extra arrival with no items that starts 24 hours after you start. This prevents your model source from immediately starting over right after it completes the last arrival. I have included a model that demonstrates how this works.
