# Schedule a One Time Task
Any Task e.g., Restart, Shutdown, Installation of an App or Script can be scheduled as a one time task. This example demonstrates how to do this using the Applications tab, but note that this scheduling functionality is available in the Windows Updates, OS Deployment, Anti-Virus, and Inventory tabs too.
1\. Select the **Control Grid** tab on the top menu bar.
2\. Navigate to the **Applications** tab.
3\. Select a **Computer** (to run a Task on) or a Script to Run. In this example a computer is selected to schedule a recurring restart task. The Action toolbar will now open on the right of the screen.
4\. Click the **RESTART** button.
5\. Click the **OPTIONS** button.
6\. Enter a **Schedule** **Name** for the scheduled task.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Presets**: Selecting the **PRESETS** drop-down menu displays a list of previously configured settings, select one to use with your current task or Save the settings that you have configured by entering a name in the **Save Settings** box and clicking the **+** button next to it.
{% endhint %}
7\. Select a **Start Time** and **Start Date**.
8\. Configure the **Run if computer comes online within** setting, either select the number of days between 1 and 30 or number of hours between 1 and 24.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If a task cannot be initiated at the scheduled task time, it will be attempted during the **Run if computer comes online within** period (either hours or days depending on how it is configured).
{% endhint %}
9\. Select the **One Time** option.
10\. **Optional**: Add any conditions.
{% hint style="info" %}
There are 4 types of conditions\
1\. **If computer part of a domain**
2\. **If computer is a cache server**
3\. **Inventory field**: *Manufacturer*/*Computer Model*/*Computer Name*
* **Contains**/**Does Not Contain**
* **Action**: *Exclude from Execution* / *Include in Execution*
4\. **On every reboot -** This is only available when scheduling Custom Scripts
An Example Scenario could be to exclude all Dell computers from the Reboot based on the Computer's Model:
{% endhint %}
11\. **Optional**: Add an advanced option - for this task the only advanced option available is to allow the user to defer the restart. Check this box if you wish to allow the user to defer.
12\. Click the **SCHEDULE** button.
{% hint style="success" %}
The one time restart computer task has been scheduled successfully.
{% endhint %}
