# WKSnapshotReason.appScheduled

The app scheduled this snapshot.

```
case appScheduled
```

## Discussion

You can schedule snapshots either by calling the [`scheduleSnapshotRefresh(withPreferredDate:userInfo:scheduledCompletion:)`](/documentation/WatchKit/WKExtension/scheduleSnapshotRefresh(withPreferredDate:userInfo:scheduledCompletion:)) method, or—when completing a background task—by calling the [`setTaskCompletedWithSnapshot(_:)`](/documentation/WatchKit/WKRefreshBackgroundTask/setTaskCompletedWithSnapshot(_:)) method and passing <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.

These snapshot refresh tasks are only triggered when the watchOS app is in the dock.
