[Assignment Management](https://support.vismo.com/user-system-management?hsLang=en#assignment-management) # Scheduled Assignments This guide explains how to add a schedule trigger to an assignment template, so that assignments start automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. At the scheduled time, Vismo starts an assignment from the template for each member of the chosen group, and their check-ins begin. Optionally, Vismo completes each assignment once the template's duration has elapsed. Scheduled assignments suit recurring shifts, patrols or site rounds that need check-ins at the same time each day, week or month, and they replace starting the same assignment by hand for each person, each time. ###### Before you start - You need an existing assignment template. Assignments run from the template, so its duration and check-in settings apply. - Decide which group the schedule is for. Assignments start for every member of the group, including its sub-groups. - Schedule triggers sit alongside geo-fence triggers, which start an assignment when someone enters an area. To set those up, see Creating Assignment Triggers Using Geo-fences. ###### Adding a schedule trigger | **Step** | **What to do** | | --- | --- | | **1** | Go to Assignment Templates and open the template you want to schedule. | | **2** | Open Triggers, choose Add, then Schedule trigger. | | **3** | Enter a Name for the schedule and make sure Enabled is on. | | **4** | Choose the Group. An assignment will start for every member of this group, including its sub-groups. | | **5** | Under Schedule, choose how it Repeats: daily, weekly on chosen Days of the week, or monthly on a set day. | | **6** | Set the Start time and Time Zone. | | **7** | Optionally, set an End date: the last day the schedule runs. | | **8** | Under When the schedule runs, choose either Start the assignment, unless already on one, or Start the assignment, and complete any existing one. | | **9** | Optionally, switch on Complete automatically to end each assignment once the template's duration has elapsed. | | **10** | Save the trigger. | *![](https://support.vismo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-26-2026-03-53-32-4077-PM.png?width=378&height=198&name=image-png-Oct-26-2026-03-53-32-4077-PM.png)* ###### *Good to know* - Monthly schedules set to days 29 to 31 fall back to the last day of shorter months. - Schedules run at local time in the chosen time zone and stay correct through clock changes, so 09:00 stays 09:00 in summer and winter. - Assignments ended by Complete automatically are recorded as ended on schedule, rather than completed by the user. - With Complete automatically on, assignments are closed at the end of their duration rather than left open. - You can switch a schedule off at any time with the Enabled setting, and switch it back on later.
