# How to Schedule an Agent from Tasks

> Create, run, pause, and review a scheduled agent from the Tasks Agents tab, and work the Agent Run cards it produces on the board.

The Agents tab in Tasks is the same [scheduled agents](../accounting-intelligence/scheduled-agents) feature you'd reach from Accounting Intelligence, shown as a card grid next to your task board. Use it when you want an agent's finished runs to land as review cards alongside your other work, instead of only checking Accounting Intelligence directly.

## Prerequisites

* Accounting Intelligence access, to view the Agents tab at all.
* Organization admin, to create, edit, pause, resume, delete, or roll back an agent. Anyone with Accounting Intelligence access can view the list and open a card's chat.

## Create an agent

Creating an agent from Tasks uses the same definition drawer as Accounting Intelligence, so the fields and their limits are identical.

1. In Tasks, click the **Agents** tab.
2. Click **Create Agent**. This opens the same definition drawer used in Accounting Intelligence.
3. Fill in the five fields: **Name**, **Instructions**, **Cadence**, **Entity scope**, and **Accounting basis**. See the [Scheduled Agents Reference](../accounting-intelligence/scheduled-agents) for what each field accepts and how cadence options behave.
4. Save. The agent appears as a card in the Agents tab, with its cadence and current status.

After this, the agent appears in the grid and starts running on the schedule you set.

## Run, pause, and review an agent

Once an agent exists, its card in the Agents tab is where you start it on demand, pause its schedule, or watch it run.

* Click **Run Now** on a card to trigger a run immediately, without waiting for its cadence.
* Use the pause and resume switch on a card to stop or restart its schedule. This requires the same admin-level edit access as creating an agent.
* Click a card to open its chat drawer: the single, ongoing conversation that every run for this agent appends to.

After this, you can see whether the agent is currently active, paused, or errored, and read every run it has produced in one place.

## Review a completed run from the board

A completed run doesn't only appear in the Agents tab: DualEntry also drops a card for it onto the Tasks board itself.

1. When a scheduled run finishes, DualEntry creates an **Agent Run** card on the Tasks board, titled with the agent's name, in the To Do lane.
2. This card is visible only to you, the agent's owner. Other users, including organization admins, don't see it on their own boards.
3. Open the card, or the agent's chat drawer, and review the run's output.
4. Mark it reviewed from the card or the chat's review action, or drag it to Dismissed if no action is needed.

After this, the Agent Run card leaves your To Do lane. A schedule only ever keeps one open Agent Run card at a time: when the next run finishes, it replaces the current one rather than adding a second card.

## Troubleshooting

**I don't see an Agents tab in Tasks.** You need Accounting Intelligence access to see it. Ask an organization admin to grant it.

**I can't create, edit, pause, or delete an agent.** These actions are restricted to organization admins. If you have Accounting Intelligence access but aren't an admin, you can still view the agent list, open its chat, and click Run Now.

**An Agent Run card I was reviewing disappeared.** A newer run for that same agent finished and replaced it. Open the agent's chat from the Agents tab to see every run, including the one that replaced your card.
