# Select a start time for a remediation task

Select an expected start time for an Operational Technology \(OT\) remediation task by using the time slots in the equipment model entity schedules.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_otvr.remediation\_owner

## About this task

There are two ways to manually select a start time for an OT remediation task.

-   You can select a start time when creating a remediation task by selecting **Scheduling Assistant** on the Create New Remediation Task form.
-   You can open an existing remediation task and schedule from there.

The Scheduling Assistant uses the time slots from the equipment model entity schedules. For more information, see [Managing an equipment model entity schedule](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/operational-technology/industrial-process-manager/managing-equipment-entity-schedules.md).

    2.  Select **Scheduling Assistant**.
    3.  Select the date and a time slot to run remediation tasks according to your requirement.

2.  If you want to select a start time for an existing remediation task, do these actions:

    1.  Navigate to **All** > **Industrial Workspace**.
    2.  In the list view, navigate to **OT Remediation Tasks** > **Assigned to me**.
    3.  From the list, select the remediation task that you want to set a start time for.
