# Auto Forms

Auto forms are used to automatically submit forms on regular times. Auto forms have predefined content and are triggered by the Scheduler application. To add a new auto-form, click on the ![clip0003](https://help.smt-x.com/clip0003.gif) button.

It is possible to force an auto-form to run immediately by clicking on the ![clip0004](https://help.smt-x.com/clip0004.gif) button. The defined schedule of the auto-form will in that case be ignored and the  auto-form is executed immediately.

## General Settings

In the General Settings of an Auto-Form, information on how to trigger the auto-form can be defined.
