# Create and manage scheduled tasks in Arc

# Create and manage scheduled tasks in Arc {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 26, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Schedule Arc to run an instruction once or on a repeating schedule, and run, edit, copy, pause, or delete any schedule from one list.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_app_arc.user

## About this task

Schedules allow you to create and manage repetitive tasks.

All schedules run in your device's local time.

You can have up to 50 schedules. If Arc is closed at a scheduled time, that run is marked missed and the schedule moves on to its next time instead of running late.

## Procedure

1. In Arc, select Schedules in the sidebar.  
   The Schedules window lists your schedules. If you don't have any yet, it shows No Schedules Yet.
2. Select Add New Schedule.
3. Select a blueprint, or select Custom Reminder to write your own instruction.  
   Blueprints are ready made routines, grouped under Rituals \& Planning, such as Morning Briefing and Weekly Review, and Comms \& Follow-ups, such as Standup Digest and Inbox Sweep. A blueprint fills in the details for you.

   Other blueprints are grouped under Tickets \& Incidents, such as
   Incident Watch and Change Request Watch, and Dev, which has PR Review Digest. Custom Reminder is
   listed first, under Start Fresh.
4. In the Name field, enter a name for the schedule, and in the Message field, enter the instruction for Arc to run.
5. Under What time?, select how often the schedule runs, and then set the date and time.  
   Choose Once, Every day, Weekdays (Mon--Fri), Weekly,
   Monthly, or
   Every N minutes. Times use 24 hour local time.
6. **Optional:** To get a notification instead of having Arc run the instruction, select Reminder only.  
   Reminder only appears only for Custom Reminder, because blueprints run as a task. Use it when you want to be reminded of something, such as calling a colleague. Leave it
   off when you want Arc to do the work, such as fetching your unread email every morning.
7. Select Schedule it.  
   The schedule appears as a card in the Schedules list.
8. **Optional:** Manage a schedule from its card.
   * To run a schedule right away, select Run now. The schedule keeps its regular time.
   * To change a schedule, select Edit.
   * To create a similar schedule, select Duplicate. The new schedule starts with the same details.
   * To pause or resume a schedule, turn its toggle off or on.
   * To remove a schedule, select Delete.

* **[Create a schedule from a chat in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Wyoown8GFI6wJ8ShLx6YSg)**   
  Ask Arc in a chat to run a task or remind you at a set time, without opening the scheduling window.
* **[Edit a schedule in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XQ9l4MeWZ2Uew3YTcnn8Kw)**   
  Change a schedule's name, instruction, or timing without creating it again from scratch.
* **[Duplicate a schedule in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ufqe2gIgZv9oh6YdiRm~2g)**   
  Copy an existing schedule as a starting point for a new one, so you don't enter the same details again.
* **[Pause or resume a schedule in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/sglG9chExin89MdJhN3QXA)**   
  Stop a schedule from running for a while without deleting it, and turn it back on when you need it again.
* **[Run a schedule now in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dikGisnfTmNlUFWMCmWVUg)**   
  Run a schedule right away, outside its regular time, for example to test a new schedule or get a result early.
* **[Delete a schedule in Arc](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/v1RVa1oKqnMhl3I0Q~_Vkg)**   
  Remove a schedule you no longer need so that it stops running.
