Recurring Tasks: User Guide
What Are Recurring Tasks?
Recurring tasks are tasks that repeat automatically on a schedule you choose. This helps you save time and ensures important work is never forgotten. For example, you can set up a recurring task for weekly team meetings, monthly reports, or daily check-ins.
Why Use Recurring Tasks?
- Save time: No need to create the same task over and over.
- Stay organized: Tasks appear automatically when needed.
- Never miss a deadline: Tasks are created on time, every time.
How to Set Up a Recurring Task
- Go to the tasks section in your workspace.
- Choose to create a new task and look for the option to make it recurring.
- Fill in the task details (name, description, assignees, etc.).
- Select your preferred schedule (see options below).
- Save the task. It will now be created automatically based on your chosen schedule.
Schedule Options
You can choose how often your task repeats. Here are the most common options:
- Daily: The task is created every day.
- Weekly: The task is created once a week. You can pick the day (e.g., every Monday).
- Monthly: The task is created once a month. You can pick the date (e.g., the 1st of every month).
- Weekdays: The task is created every Monday to Friday.
- Custom: Set your own schedule, such as every 2 days, every 3 weeks, or only on certain days.
Examples
- "Send team update" every Friday (weekly)
- "Submit expense report" on the 1st of each month (monthly)
- "Check backups" every day (daily)
- "Review project status" every Monday and Thursday (custom)
Tips
- You can edit or stop a recurring task at any time.
- Assign team members and labels to recurring tasks for better organization.
- Check your task list regularly to see newly created recurring tasks.
