# Schedules and recurrence

Choose one-time or recurring execution, set the timezone, configure frequency and boundaries, preview upcoming times, and check daylight-saving behavior where relevant.

![Schedules and recurrence in Foxora v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/automation/schedule-editor.webp)

## Where this lives

Open **foxora → Schedules**.

A scheduled task starts a configured agent or crew automatically at a specified time or recurrence and records each execution as a run with status, logs, and output.

> **Safety:** Scheduled work may run without a person watching. Avoid unrestricted destructive actions, confirm connection availability, and make repeated execution safe.

## Steps

1. Open **foxora → Schedules**.
2. Choose one-time or recurring execution.
3. Set the timezone, configure frequency and boundaries, preview upcoming times.
4. Check daylight-saving behavior where relevant.
5. **Confirm the result.** Use Run now for a controlled test, inspect the created run and destination, then confirm the next scheduled time in the intended timezone.

## Choose the right path

- Use a one-time schedule for deferred work.
- Use recurrence for predictable maintenance or reporting.
- Use an event-triggered workflow when timing is not the real trigger.


## Confirm it worked

- Use Run now for a controlled test, inspect the created run and destination, then confirm the next scheduled time in the intended timezone.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
