# Create and assign a global task

Use this tutorial to roll out a manual activity across many apps.

### Before you start

* You need the **Platform Administrator** role.
* You should know who owns the task.
* You should know when the task starts and becomes due.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create the task template

Go to [Administration → Tasks](/administration/tasks.md).

Use the global library.

Create a task template with a clear name and instructions.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure the schedule

Choose whether the task is one-time or recurring.

Use a task list when multiple sub-tasks are required.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Assign the task

Open [Dashboards → Tasks](/dashboards/tasks.md).

Use [Task Assignment](/dashboards/tasks/task-assignment.md) to select apps, start date, assignees, and notifications.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Validate the assignment

Confirm the task was assigned to the right apps and roles.

If owner or admin assignments are missing, validate the assignment again after fixing access.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
