# Schedule-Triggered Flows

A schedule-triggered flow starts at the specified time and frequency for a batch of records. Configure the schedule trigger in the Start element of your autolaunched flow.

Schedule an autolaunched flow to start at a specific time and set it to run one time, daily, or weekly. To have the scheduled flow run for a batch of records, specify the object and the filter conditions that each record is required to meet.

A flow interview runs for each record in the batch and stores all of the record’s field values in the `$Record` global variable.As you build the scheduled flow, reference the `$Record` global variable to access the record’s field values.

If you configure an Update Records element to use the ID and all field values from the $Record global variable, enable **Filter inaccessible fields from flow requests** in your org’s process automation settings. Otherwise, the flow fails because the Update Records element tries to set the values for system fields and other read-only fields.

You can monitor scheduled flows from the Scheduled Jobs page in Setup.
