Recurrence is useful for work that repeats on a predictable schedule, such as weekly file reviews, monthly checks, or annual renewals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the recurrence settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open a new or existing task.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enter a Start date<\/strong> first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the calendar icon beside Recurrence<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select a recurrence pattern and its range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Review the plain-language recurrence shown beside the calendar icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Click Add<\/strong> or Modify<\/strong> in the task window to save the task itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The recurrence calendar is dimmed until a Start date is entered. If you remove the Start date, the recurrence is also removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recurrence pattern reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Pattern<\/th>Available choices<\/th>Example use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    Daily<\/td>Every chosen number of days, or every weekday from Monday to Friday<\/td>Daily operational review or weekday opening check<\/td><\/tr>
    Weekly<\/td>Every chosen number of weeks on one or more selected weekdays<\/td>Every two weeks on Monday and Wednesday<\/td><\/tr>
    Monthly<\/td>A numbered day, or the first, second, third, fourth, or last selected day type<\/td>The 15th of each month or the last weekday of each month<\/td><\/tr>
    Yearly<\/td>A month and day, or an ordered day type in a selected month<\/td>Every March 31 or the first Monday of September<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    For monthly and yearly ordered patterns, the selected day type can be a specific weekday, any day, a weekday, or a weekend day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Range of recurrence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Every recurring task has a Start and one of these endings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • End by<\/strong>: stop on a selected date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • End after<\/strong>: stop after a selected number of occurrences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • No end date<\/strong>: continue until a user removes the recurrence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Validation rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The recurrence window blocks invalid settings. Check the following if an error appears:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • interval numbers must be whole numbers from 1 to 99<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • a weekly pattern needs at least one selected weekday<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • a numbered day of the month must be from 1 to 31<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • End after must contain from 1 to 999 occurrences<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Start must be a valid date<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • End by cannot be earlier than Start<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • the chosen range must contain at least one occurrence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        After you click OK, the Start date can move forward to the first date that matches the pattern. For example, a weekly Wednesday task starting on a Friday moves to the following Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If a Due date is present, the system keeps the same amount of time between Start and Due for each occurrence. For a monthly task on day 29, 30, or 31, a shorter month uses its last day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":4157,"menu_order":1,"template":"","doc_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4158"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4180,"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4158\/revisions\/4180"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4157"}],"next":[{"title":"Understand recurring tasks in the list","link":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/docs\/organization-staff\/tasks-and-task-center\/recurring-tasks\/understand-recurring-tasks-in-the-list\/","href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/4159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.airsupervision.com\/wp-r\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=4158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
