Pattern by Knoveya

Scheduled Tasks & Recurring Actions

Knoveya

State a recurring task's schedule, timezone, next run, and cancellation controls.

Design intent

State a recurring task's schedule, timezone, next run, and cancellation controls.

When to use

Use this pattern when its control or information directly helps the current task. Start with a real user scenario rather than adding an AI-themed affordance by default.

Example

Preview a weekly report run before enabling it.

This is an illustrative Knoveya scenario, not a claim about a particular shipped product.

Implementation checklist

  • Define the trigger, visible state, allowed action, and completion condition.
  • Changes and failures are visible and execution stays within authorized scope.
  • Cover missing input, unavailable permissions, interrupted work, and partial results where they apply.
  • Keep keyboard focus, labels, and recovery behavior understandable without motion.

Trade-offs

Extra controls or explanations add reading and decision effort. Prefer the smallest presentation that exposes the relevant consequence. Do not display a guarantee, metric, or permission that the underlying system cannot enforce.

Verify

Reproduce the example with synthetic data and deliberately trigger its failure path. Changes and failures are visible and execution stays within authorized scope.
