# Generate planned workplace tasks

Using planned task definitions in Workplace Core to create planned tasks independent of shifts for recurring activities. For example, you can generate tasks for a selected number of days for cleaning all floors and buildings at midnight every day.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_wsd\_core.admin or sn\_wsd\_core.workplace\_manager

## About this task

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Workplace Core** > **Workplace Tasks** > **Planned Tasks Definitions**.

2.  In the list, open the planned task definition.

    You can also generate planned tasks immediately when you create a new planned task definition.

3.  Select **Planned start time** and **Planned end time** values based on the days and time when you need these tasks to be performed.

4.  Select **Generate Task**.


## Result

-   Based on the planned start time and planned end time, planned tasks are created for all occurrences of the schedule and appear in the **Workplace Tasks** related list.
-   The **Expected start time** in each generated planned task is auto-calculated from the planned end time and processing time values in the respective tasks as follows:

    `Planned start time = Planned end time – Processing Time`


You can view all planned tasks by navigating to **Workplace Core** > **Workplace Tasks** > **Planned Tasks**.
