# First Steps with Automatic Check: Create Your First Schedule

In this tutorial, you will create your first schedule in the **Automatic Check** section. By the end, you will know how to select an **Action Jail**, set the periodicity, and verify that the schedule appears in the list and runs correctly.

## Who This Tutorial Is For

This tutorial is for users who are **setting up automatic checks in ConnectiveOne for the first time** and want to quickly get their first working result.

## What You Will Do

By the end of this tutorial, you will:

- Create a **schedule** to run a selected function (Action Jail) at a specified interval.
- Verify that the schedule appears in the **Existing Schedules** list with **Active** status.

## Prerequisites

- [x] You have access to the **Settings** module.
- [x] You see the **Automatic Check** section in the settings menu.
- [x] At least one function is available in the **Action Jail** list.

> ⚠️ **If you don't see "Automatic Check":** contact your system administrator to request the appropriate access rights.

## Step 1. Open Automatic Check

1. Go to **Menu** → **Settings**.
2. Open the **Automatic Check** section.

> **Expected result:** You see a page with the title **Automatic Check** and the description **Configure automatic checks and create schedules**.

## Step 2. Check Status Before Configuration

This page has two information blocks:

- **Notification Process Status**
- **Scheduler Status**

Make sure both blocks show **Configured** status.

> **Expected result:** Both blocks display a green checkmark (status **Configured**).

> ⚠️ **If the status is "Not Configured":** schedule creation may not work or the schedule may not run. Contact your technical team or support to configure these components for your system.

## Step 3. Select the Function to Run on Schedule

1. In the **Select function to run on schedule** field, open the list.
2. Choose the desired item from the **Select Action Jail** dropdown.

> **Tip:** **Action Jail** is the name of the function that the system will run automatically at the specified intervals.

> **Expected result:** The selected function appears in the selection field.

## Step 4. Set the Periodicity

1. In the **Select periodicity** block, specify the run interval:
   - hours (h),
   - minutes (m),
   - seconds (s).
2. Make sure a clear text description of the interval appears below the fields.

> **Expected result:** The interval is set, and you see a human-readable description of the periodicity below.

## Step 5. Create the Schedule

1. Click **Create Schedule** at the top of the page.
2. Wait a few seconds.

> **Expected result:** You see the message **Schedule created successfully** or **Schedule creation process started. It will appear in the list in a few seconds.**

## Step 6. Verify the Schedule Appears in the List

1. Scroll down to the **Existing Schedules** block.
2. Verify that a new entry appears in the table:
   - In the **Action Jail** column — the name of the selected function,
   - In the **Interval** column — your interval,
   - In the **Status** column — **Active**.

> **Expected result:** The schedule is displayed in the list with status **Active**.

> ⚠️ **If the schedule doesn't appear:** click the refresh button (↻ icon) in the status blocks and wait 10–20 seconds, then refresh the page.

- Created your first schedule in **Automatic Check**.
