how to schedule a batch campaign?

I have been trying to schedule a batch campaign as only batch campaigns can be scheduled via an MArketo REST API.

I want to understand the following,

- Why does only batch campaign can be scheduled ?

- How to check if batch campaigns are scheduled in the Marketo UI ?

- What is the use of scheduling a campaign when a trigger cannot be set in batch campaign?

Only batch campaigns have the concept of an actual chronological schedule. Trigger campaigns run in response to (filtered) activities, which is not a schedule in the conventional sense. Trigger campaigns can be run via Request Campaign.

How do you usually check campaign status in the Marketo UI?

- What is the use of scheduling a campaign when a trigger cannot be set in batch campaign?

I don't understand this question.
