Is there a way to get an action done in the background

I have two tables: 1. Fixed Assets which includes a monthly depreciation date. Now I want to have the depreciation booked to the second table being General Ledger. However, I want to have that happen without any user interference. So basically if today's date is depreciation date then booking should happen. But I have no idea to make that happen. All I thought of still requires user handling or a button.

    @berry_in_manila ...  Well.. while we wait for Ninox to impement a schedule ..  There are a few options..

    1.  Use the Options Trigger after Open event to fire a global function to determine if something needs to be done.  This assumes that 

          A.  Someone opens the application at least once a day. 

          B.  The function will be smart enough NOT to duplicate action.. 

    2.  You could use Integromat (https://www.integromat.com/en/) or something similar to run a "scheduled" event to pull the desired records and then book the depreciation into the GL. 

    3.  Use the Button method.. and wait for Ninox to provide a scheduler ..
