# Schedule a Recurring Task
Only a Restart or Custom Scripts can be scheduled as a recurring 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**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If a task cannot be initiated for up to 15 minutes after the scheduled task time, it will be marked as failed.
{% endhint %}
8\. Select the **Recurring** option.
9\. Select the task frequency, **Daily** or **Weekly**.
{% hint style="info" %}
If Weekly is selected, specify which days the task needs to be repeated on by checking/unchecking the boxes.
{% endhint %}
10\. **Optional**: Add any conditions.
{% hint style="info" %}

3\. **Inventory field**: *Manufacturer*/*Computer Model*/*Computer Name*
* **Contains**/**Does Not Contain**
* **Action**: *Exclude from Execution* / *Include in Execution*
