====Setting Up Scheduled Tasks====

To begin setting up [[welcome|tasks]], go to **Administration|Scheduled Tasks**.

Here you will see a list of the scheduled tasks you already have available. See [[Managing Scheduled Tasks]] for more information on how you can interact with them.

===Adding a New Task===

Press the **Add Task** button to create a new scheduled task.

Fill in the //name// of the task. Try to keep this informative, such as 'Send Daily Reports' or 'Restart Services'.

Then choose an **action** from the list. By default, the system only has a single action called //Fetch a URL//, which can be used to open a given web-URL at the scheduled time.

Other ARDI addins can provide additional options here. For example, the [[report_list:welcome|Report List]] addon gives you the option of sending out a report at the scheduled time.

Hit **Save Changes** when ready to continue.

===Provide Action Details===

Once you've created the initial task, you'll then be prompted to specify exactly //what// the task does. The options you'll be given vary depending on what your action is.

For example, the options below are for sending a report.

In this case, you'll be able to select the //title// for your report, the specific //bundle// of reports to send, you'll be able to adjust the default site name and choose a //transmission method//.

Hit **Save Changes** once you're happy with the settings.

Once you've created the task, you'll need to [[Setting a Task Time|set the time]] for the task to happen.
