Video: Repeating Actions

Actions can be set to repeat at specified intervals. This has the effect of automatically creating a new action with a due date that is a set time after the preceding action.

The following instructions apply to actions created from both the My Actions and All Actions menus.

Intervals

The following options are available to determine the interval between when actions repeat:

  • Daily

    • The action will repeat each day

  • Weekly

    • The action will repeat each week, or

    • Each 'x' weeks, where x can be from 1 to 52

    • For weekly repeating actions a specific day of the week is selected i.e. each third Tuesday

  • Monthly

    • The action will repeat each month, or

    • Each 'x' months, where x can be from 1 to 12

    • For monthly repeating actions, a specific day of the month (1-28th) or the 'last' day i.e. every 3 months on the last of the month.

  • Yearly

    • Once per year on the day selected using the date chooser
