title: Background Tasks
---
## Background Tasks
In addition to managing the database and providing a web interface, InvenTree runs various background tasks;
### Blocking Operations
Some tasks (such as sending emails or performing bulk database actions) may take a significant amount of time. Instead of delaying the response to the user, these tasks are handled by the background task manager.
### Periodic Tasks
Some tasks must be performed on a periodic basis.
## Django Q
InvenTree uses the [django-q](https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) background task manager.
## Admin Interface
Scheduled tasks can be viewed in the InvenTree admin interface.
