Creating a recurring task
A recurring task is a task that occurs more than once and on a regular basis (e.g., take trash out). As with one-time tasks, it is best to move sequentially down the screen rather than to jump from field to field randomly.
Create a new recurring task
- Tap the plus sign on the task (right) side of the screen.
- Verify/tap the Create Task icon (single checkmark) on the far left of the task options.
- Enter task name in New Task field.
- Tap Details to open the task details screen.
- Start with the first field and enter relevant information as you move down the screen from top to bottom. The specific fields associated with recurring tasks are:
- Tap Repeat.
- Tap the desired option from the Repeat From section of the Repeat Task screen.
- Tap the desired option from the Repeat Frequency section of the Repeat Task screen.
- Tap the specific frequency if a new screen appears.
- Tap Repeat Task.
- Tap Edit Task.
- Tap Done to save the event.
