# Run scheduled imports

A scheduled import allows administrators to import data on a regular schedule. Run import operations on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis based on your business requirements. Scheduled import runs a datasource similar to how a scheduler job runs the script.

## Before you begin

Role required: import\_scheduler, import\_admin, or admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Import Sets** > **Administration** > **** > **Scheduled Imports**.

    A list of available scheduled imports appears with Run, Data source, Active, and Updated information.

2.  Select **Example File Based Catalog Import**

    \[Omitted image "spo-run-scheduled-import.png"\] Alt text: The Example File Based Catalog Import form.

3.  Follow the steps for [data import](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/t_ScheduleADataImport.md).


## What to do next

-   You can verify the data transfer records from **Procurement Integrations** > **Catalog** > **FTP Catalog Imports**. You can see all the data as one single payload content. See Payloads for more information.
-   The same record is then transformed and available from **Procurement Integrations** > **Catalog** > **Catalog Imports**.
