## Create an Activation Using an Integration

You can create an activation to export segment data or stages.

Review the steps to [Creating an Activation](https://docs.treasuredata.com/smart/project-product-documentation/create-an-activation) in the Product Documentation portal.

## Example Query


```SQL
SELECT * FROM [table]
```

### (Optional) Schedule Query Export Jobs

You can use Scheduled Jobs with Result Export to periodically write the output result to a target destination that you specify.

Treasure Data's scheduler feature supports periodic query execution to achieve high availability.

When two specifications provide conflicting schedule specifications, the specification requesting to execute more often is followed while the other schedule specification is ignored.

For example, if the cron schedule is `'0 0 1 * 1'`, then the 'day of month' specification and 'day of week' are discordant because the former specification requires it to run every first day of each month at midnight (00:00), while the latter specification requires it to run every Monday at midnight (00:00). The latter specification is followed.

#### Scheduling your Job Using TD Console

1. Navigate to **Data Workbench > Queries**
2. Create a new query or select an existing query.
3. Next to **Schedule**, select None.
