Create a recurring task

Some tasks, such as compiling a monthly status report, occur on a regular basis. Instead of creating a separate task for each occurrence, you can create one task that recurs over a period of time.

  1. Create a new task or, in Tasks, open an existing task you've created.
  2. On the toolbar, click Recurrence Button image.
  3. Under Recurrence pattern, select how often you want the task to occur.
  4. Under Range of recurrence, select when you want this recurrence pattern to start and end.
  5. Click OK.
  6. If necessary, fill out the rest of the task form (for example, due date and priority).
  7. Click Save and Close.
