# Make automatic batch predictions


**Note**  
Time series forecasting models don't support automatic batch predictions.

To set up a schedule for automatic batch predictions, do the following:

1. In the left navigation pane of Canvas, choose **My models**.

1. Choose your model.

1. Choose the **Predict** tab.

1. Choose **Batch prediction**.

1. For **Generate predictions**, choose **Automatic**.

1. The **Automate batch predictions** dialog box pops up. Choose **Select dataset** and choose the dataset for which you want to automate predictions. Note that you can only select a dataset that was imported through local upload or Amazon S3.

1. After selecting a dataset, choose **Set up**.

Canvas runs a batch predictions job for the dataset after you set up the configuration. Then, every time you [Update a dataset](canvas-update-dataset.md), either manually or automatically, another batch predictions job runs.

After the prediction job finishes running, on the **Run predictions** page, you see an output dataset listed under **Predictions**. This dataset contains your results, and if you select the **More options** icon (![\[Vertical ellipsis icon representing a menu or more options.\]](http://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/sagemaker/latest/dg/images/studio/canvas/more-options-icon.png)), you can choose **Preview** to preview the output data. You can see the input data matched to the prediction and the probability that the prediction is correct. Then, you can choose **Download** to download the results.

The following sections describe how to view, update, and delete your automatic batch prediction configuration through the **Datasets** page in the Canvas application. You can only set up a maximum of 20 automatic configurations in Canvas. For more information about viewing your automated batch predictions job history or making changes to your automatic configuration through the **Automations** page, see [How to manage automations](canvas-manage-automations.md).
