About

From Precursive OBX v.16 and upwards, you can schedule the same Task to repeat from the Precursive OBX Tab. You can set frequency, interval, maximum occurrences to have Tasks copied and re-added to your Board after a set period of time.

The Frequency may be Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly. The interval is the space between each frequency, such as "1" for once a week, if the frequency is "weekly", or "3" for a 'monthly' frequency to have a Task re-added every quarter. To stop repeating a task, define whether to end after a set number of Occurrences or on a certain date.

Note - You can schedule Precursive Tasks to repeat manually or directly from a Task Template. Let's see how!

How to Schedule Repeat Tasks Manually

Follow the step below to schedule a Task to be re-added periodically:
  1. Click onto the Precursive OBX Tab, open the Board you want to work on and then click on the Task you want to repeat
  2. Open the right-hand side expanding pane to display the Task's details
  3. Click the dropdown arrow located next to the complete button and select Repeat
  4. Enter Frequency, Interval, Maximum Occurrences and End Date
  5. Save
Examples:
If you want the Task to repeat once a week, select Weekly and enter 1 in the Repeat Interval.
If you want the Task to repeat once every Quarter, select Monthly and enter 3 in the Repeat Interval.
