How It Helps
If you have tasks that happen every couple of days, every week or any type of regular schedule using the repeat option will help you create tasks that are recurring, so you only have to set them up once. You can create recurring tasks for both people or projects on Workyard.
How It Works
To create a new repeating task:
Go to your schedule and click on + Task
Under Repeat, select your recurrence rule. Options available are: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly
Once you select the type of recurrence rule you can tweak how often your task repeats based on days, weeks or dates.
Under Ends, select the option for when you'd like the repeating task to end.
You can also edit existing tasks to apply a new repeat option.
