Hi @Rachele Tashjian,

What do you mean by Scheduled Tasks?

Do you mean you have to create a Tasks based on some scheduled right? if yes, please refer below script as reference.

var createTsk = new GlideRecord('task'); // add required Task table name here
createTsk.initialize();

createTsk.short_description = 'Short Description here';
createTsk.description = 'Description here';

createTsk.assignment_group = 'assignment group sys_id here';
createTsk.state = 'state value here';

createTsk.insert();

Thanks,

Sagar Pagar

Hey,

Why don't you refer to Scheduled job or Flow designer(preferred) to generate tasks based either periodically or based on some condition.

You can refer to below article:

That's exactly what I did.  I'm very new to the admin side of ServiceNow, but I found it and we're testing it now.

Thank you so much for your response!

Here's the scenario, we have contractors/outside users accessing our systems and once a month that access needs to be reviewed.  So is there a way to set a task to let me know once a month that i have something i need to do for this particular task?
