# Create a recipe

There are many ways to create a recipe in Foundry. Use this guide to learn how to create a recipe from the Recipes application, Dataset Preview, and Quiver.

## From the Recipes application

Open the Recipes application from the navigation sidebar.

You will then be directed to choose a resource to monitor through the recipe.

## From Dataset Preview

To create a new recipe from the Dataset Preview application, select **Create a recipe** in the **Actions** menu.

Recipes allow you to send a preview of the dataset by defining the following:

* Columns of interest
* A message to send with the preview
* The recipients
* The conditions under which the preview will be sent
* The type of message (email or notification)

A maximum of five columns can be sent in a preview.

## From Reports

A report can be automated to send out on a schedule to specified recipients as either an attached PDF or an in-email image.

From the Reports **Actions** menu, select **Email on a schedule**.

Then, compose a message to send with the preview.

Finally, schedule the email. Select the days on which the report will send; the time zone will default to the recipe creator's local system time zone.
