# Reccurent tickets

Recurring tickets allow you to schedule ticket creation for recurring events. For example : 

* Open a ticket every Monday to check that weekend backup was correctly executed
* Open a ticket first day of the month to perform initialization operations

{% hint style="success" %}
You can use [templates ](https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/modules/tabs/templates)to program recurrent ticket opening.
