# 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 ](/documentation/modules/tabs/templates.md)to program recurrent ticket opening.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Reccurent ticket opening is done through an automatic action named **`RecurrentItems`**, see [Configure automatic actions](/documentation/modules/configuration/crontasks.md).
{% endhint %}

## The different fields

* **Active**: allows to disable temporarily ticket creation;
