Schedule Broadcast Message on Intuity R5

[sezwhat]

Can you schedule a broadcast message? I see in delivery options how to schedule a message and how to broadcast a messsage, but can you use both options for the same message? If so, which option do I enter first, or does it matter? This is one of those situations where it'd be nice to have a test environment to try it out first.
