# Schedule a Data Quality Assessment with the job queue

Schedule an assessment through the Business Central job queue when you want it to run automatically at a set frequency, for example every night or every week, without starting it manually.

## Prerequisites

- **Data Quality Check** is enabled on the **Data Quality Setup**.
- One or more **Data Policies** are **Active**, with validation rules or duplicate checks configured.
- You are allowed to create and manage job queue entries.

## Steps

1. Press **Alt+Q** to open the **Tell Me** search.
2. Enter **Data Quality Assessment** and select the page from the results.
3. Set up the run: select the **Run** scope, the **Policy ID** or entity, and any filters you need.
4. In the **Check Type** field, select the checks to schedule: **Validation**, **Duplicate check**, or **Both**.
5. Select the action to schedule the assessment as a job queue entry.
6. Define the recurrence, such as the frequency and the next run time, and confirm.

### Results

Business Central creates a job queue entry that runs the assessment automatically according to your schedule. Each scheduled run creates a new **Assessment Run ID** in **Validation History**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The scheduled run honors the **Check Type** you select. When you choose **Validation only** or **Duplicate check only**, the job runs that check type alone; it runs both only when you select Both.
