# scheduleType

The scheduling context for this logged dose event.

```
var scheduleType: HKMedicationDoseEvent.ScheduleType { get }
```

## Discussion

The system sets this to [`HKMedicationDoseEvent.ScheduleType.asNeeded`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKMedicationDoseEvent/ScheduleType-swift.enum/asNeeded) when the person
logs a dose without a schedule and [`HKMedicationDoseEvent.ScheduleType.schedule`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKMedicationDoseEvent/ScheduleType-swift.enum/schedule) when a person logs a dose
from a scheduled medication reminder.
