# Schedules and Triggers

There are two main areas of functionality within Enate which relate to managing work which happens based upon dates schedules. These are:

1. [**Schedule functionality**](/enate-help/builder/builder-2021.1/schedules-and-frequency-based-triggers/configuring-schedules.md)**:** This allows you to create structured sets of schedules, populate date into them, then use the schedule to drive Case and Action due dates and Case launch dates when configuring Cases in Builder. This is often used for supporting scenarios e.g. Payroll.\
   \&#xNAN;***Work with 'Schedules' and 'Schedule Structures' to use this feature.***<br>
2. [**Frequency-based repeating 'triggers' for Case launching**](/enate-help/builder/builder-2021.1/schedules-and-frequency-based-triggers/frequency-based-triggers.md)**:** This allows you to create a repeating frequency upon which you can launch Cases in a given process, e.g. “Every Monday at 9am launch a Case in the AP Verification process”. This functionality is different to the Scheduling features described above; it does not use explicit dates.

You can access both of these features via the Schedules link on the toolbar

## 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.enate.net/enate-help/builder/builder-2021.1/schedules-and-frequency-based-triggers.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.
