Recurring tasks

A recurring task creates a task on a schedule, for jobs that come round regularly. Administrators manage them at Workflow → Recurring tasks. You need at least one queue that holds tasks: see Queue configuration.

The recurring task Check the returns shelf: every week, next on Monday 16 November at 09:00, in the Tasks queue, assigned to Priya Sharma, normal priority, due 2 days after it is made

Setting one up

  • Task is the subject of each task. Notes become its first note.
  • Queue, Assigned to and Priority are set on each task.
  • Starting … every … sets the first time and how often it repeats, in days, weeks or months, with an optional end date.
  • Due is how many days after it is made the task falls due.
  • Checklist adds a checklist to each task.
  • Skip while the last one is still open stops tasks piling up if one has not been finished.

Make one now creates a task straight away. Deleting a recurring task stops new ones being made, and the tasks it has already made stay.
