To help your sites run more efficiently, you must conduct regular website maintenance. You can automate maintenance tasks or jobs to run at scheduled intervals using the **Scheduled Jobs** page in the Cloud Platform user interface. This functionality is also referred to as a cron job. 

Scheduled jobs are specific to the environment where they’re created. Although you can’t create a job executing a command across several environments based on the same schedule, you can create a job for each environment, with each job using the same command line and schedule.

To add a scheduled job:

1.  [Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface](https://cloud.acquia.com/).
2.  Go to **Codebases** and select a specific codebase.
3.  Click **Environment** and select an environment for which you want to create a cron job.

4.  Click **Scheduled Jobs**.
5.  Click **Add Job** and perform the steps in [Using scheduled jobs to support your application](/acquia-cloud-platform/using-scheduled-jobs-support-your-application "Using scheduled jobs to support your application").
