# Poller

A Poller is a configuration record which defines the frequency of polling and which logic to use (the logic itself is defined in the Poll Processor). Each time it is run, it creates a corresponding Poll Request record.

## New Poller

Click the **'Pollers' icon** & then **New**.

The fields to be configured for the New Poller modal are as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="178.97291508065945">Field</th><th width="297.5920620318044">Description</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name*</td><td>The name of your Poller.</td><td>&#x3C;Your Name></td></tr><tr><td>Poll processor*</td><td>The Poll Processor to use when running this Poller.</td><td>&#x3C;Your Poll Processor></td></tr><tr><td>Run</td><td>The frequency at which the Poller should run.</td><td>'Periodically'</td></tr><tr><td>Run as</td><td>Poller will run with credentials of specified user.</td><td>&#x3C;Your  Inbound user> (from Connection)</td></tr><tr><td>Active*</td><td>Set to true to use this Poller record for processing.</td><td>&#x3C;true></td></tr></tbody></table>
