A “recurrence” is when a task occurs again, it re-occurs. Common examples are reports that need to be run every Monday, meetings every Tuesday and Thursday, a company newsletter sent on the first Tuesday of every other month, and renewal of yearly maintenance agreements.

Tasks can be set to “come back” or recur after a period of time. This can be used to schedule regular task or events. For example:

• Pay bills
• Holiday (where doing something on a holiday can be considered a 'task'
• Renew license
• Check equipment for defects
• Refresh an agreement
• Check for software updates

The first requirement for this is to have a task that needs to occur more than once. Use Task Attribute Visibility to show the Recurrence attribute in columns and/or the edit area. Editing a recurrence brings up this page.

In this screenshot, click the word Weekly for the task. In this screenshot, click the three dots next to the word Weekly.

If there is not already a recurrence defined, the column will be empty and the edit field shows “Once”.
