Create a Recurring Task

You can follow these steps to create all recurrences of a task at once.

1. Hover over the task you want to recur and select the Open option to open the item page.
   
2. On the item page, select the Recurring Task tab.
3. From the Recurring Tasks tab, you can:
   1. Select the start date.
   2. Specify how often you want the task to be repeated. You can repeat it every day, working day, week, month, or year. You can also customise the scheduling depending on which option you select.
   3. Create all the recurrences of the task now by selecting the Display all your tasks at once now option.
   4. Specify when the recurring task should end. You can either provide an end date or set it to end after a certain number of recurrences.
      
      
4. Click Save, and the recurring tasks are automatically created on your monday.com boards.

Each recurrence of the task is treated the same as any other task. It is displayed on your boards or calendars like any other task and you can add updates, attach files, or review the activity log just as you can with any other task.

Once you've created your recurring task, you should bear in mind that if your items have more than one date column, Recurring Tasks uses the leftmost date column. When new recurrences of the task are created, the values in other date columns will be updated to reflect the new due date. 

When you use automatic scheduling, recurring tasks are only added to your monday.com board on the day they are due or the day before, depending on your preference.

You can follow these steps to create a recurring task with automatic scheduling.

1. Hover over the task you want to recur and select the Open option to open the item page.
   
2. On the item page, select the Recurring Task tab.
3. From the Recurring Tasks tab, you can:
   1. Select the start date.
   2. Specify how often you want the task to be repeated. You can repeat it every day, working day, week, month, or year. You can also customise the scheduling depending on which option you select.

   3. Use automatic scheduling by clicking either On the due date or  1 day before to specify when the recurrences of the task should be created.

      The example below creates a recurring task that is due on the 15th of each month for the next 12 months. If you select On the due date, each recurrence of the task will be added to your board on the 15th of each month. If you select 1 day before, each recurrence task will be added to your board on the 14th of each month. Scheduled tasks are created at 00:00 ion the day selected. 

   4. Specify when the recurring task should end. You can either provide an end date or set it to end after a certain number of recurrences.
      
      
      

      You can create up to 100 recurring tasks or subitems using the Ends after option when On the due date or 1 day before is selected. However, you cannot have more than 40 of these items created in the past.

4. Click Save. The recurring task is saved, and each recurrence will be added to your monday.com board at 00:00 on either the due date or the day before the task is due, depending on the schedule you specified.

Each recurrence of a task is treated the same as any other task. It is displayed on your boards or calendars like any other task and you can add updates, attach files, or review the activity log just as you can with any other task.

Once you've created your recurring task, you should bear some important information in mind.

• Do not delete the last recurrence of a task from your board, as no new recurrences will be created.
• Do not remove the due date from the last recurrence of a task, as no new recurrences will be created.
• Changing the due date of the last recurrence of a task may lead to inconsistencies in the due date of future recurrences.
• If your items have more than one date column, Recurring Tasks uses the leftmost date column. When new recurrences of a task are created, the values in other date columns will be updated to reflect the new due date.
