# Schedules

Some RunBooks need to be run on a regular cadence - for collecting data, checking status or other tasks.  Using the unSkript scheduler, you can easily schedule Runbook executions at any desired cadence.

To enter the scheduler, Click Events in the top menu, and then choose schedule from the top of the resulting page.

To create a schedule, click the **Add Schedule** button.

The schedule is configured in a [cron](https://crontab.guru/)-like fashion, with different frequencies for minute, hour, day MOnth and day of week. When you make your selection a text display that describes the schedule in words and the next execution time appears. On clicking Apply, the system will ask for xRunBook parameters if any were configured.

Once the parameter values have been provided, the schedule is created and the xRunBook will be run according to the configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.unskript.com/unskript-documentation/runbooks/xrunbooks/schedules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
