While you might be part of a development team and you\u2019re deploying new features on the production every Friday.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the pattern in here? It\u2019s that all these tasks are likely one of those that you most often write in your to-do lists or project management tools. Those are likely the tasks you repeat on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, or that are part of the streamlined process of your team.<\/p>\n<p>What would be of help is to have a feature in your project management tool that will save you the time you spend on creating these tasks &#8211; a recurring tasks feature!<\/p>\n<p>This feature surely will not get the tasks done instead of you, though it will create these repeating tasks for you &#8211; automatically.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even better is that with the fresh new improvements we\u2019ve added, you will now be able to use Recurring Tasks feature in Yanado!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how you can do that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Setting the task to repeat in Yanado<\/h2>\n<p>You do this as you create a new task or open the existing one and then click on the \u201cSet to Repeat\u201d inside the Task options.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2246 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_2_4547776099.gif\" alt=\"Set to repeat\" width=\"469\" height=\"263\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the window that appears, you\u2019ll find the Repeating Settings, where you can set the periods of time at which you want the task to be repeated. There are several options you can choose from.<\/p>\n<p>You can set the task to be repeated on a daily, weekly, monthly or a quarterly basis<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2247 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_2_3986733391.png\" alt=\"Repeating Option yanado\" width=\"472\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you set the task to be repeated on a <strong>daily basis<\/strong> you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the number of days after which you want the task to be repeated<\/li>\n<li>Set the starting date (which represents the day from which the task will continue to be repeated).<\/li>\n<li>Set the ending date (which represents the date till which the task will be repeated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2249 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_1_5594836104.gif\" alt=\"repeat daily yanado\" width=\"468\" height=\"479\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, if you set the task to be repeated every 5 days, starting from 1st of September and you set the ending date to be 30st of September, that means the task will be set to repeat every 5 days till the 30th of September.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you set the task to be repeated on a <strong>weekly basis<\/strong> you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the exact day of the week, at which you want the task to be repeated<\/li>\n<li>Set the ending date (which represents the date till which the task will be repeated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2250 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_2_3176735289.png\" alt=\"repeat weekly\" width=\"473\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, if you set Thursday to be the day at which the task will be repeated, and you set the end date to be 30th of September, that means the task will be set to repeat every Thursday (starting from the day you set it) until the 30th of September.<br \/>\nIf you set the task to be repeated on a <strong>monthly basis<\/strong> you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the exact day of the month at which you want the task to repeated<\/li>\n<li>Set the exact number of months after which you want the task to be repeated (whether every month, or every two, three months and so on)<\/li>\n<li>Set the starting month (which represents the first month after which the task will continue to be repeated)<\/li>\n<li>Set the ending date (which represents the date till which the task will be repeated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2251 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_2_4901306435.png\" alt=\"repeat monthly\" width=\"471\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, if you set the 5th of every month, starting month to be the September, and you set the ending date to be 31st of December, that means the task will be set to repeat on 5th of every next month, starting from September till the 31st of December.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you set the task to be repeated on a <strong>quarterly basis<\/strong> you will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the ending date (which represents the date till which the task will be repeated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2252 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yanado.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/imageedit_2_3586650084.png\" alt=\"repeat quarterly\" width=\"473\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So if you set the task to be repeated on quarterly basis (starting from the current date of the task e.g 1st of September 2016.), and you set the ending date to be 31st of December 2017., that means the task will be set to repeat every next quarter of the year during that time (first next date, in this case, will be 1st of November 2016.) till the 31st of December 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What happens when you Set the Task To Repeat in Yanado<\/h2>\n<p>When you set the task to be repeated, the task will automatically be updated, which means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you move the task to another status (for example, when you finish it and you move it from status Open to status Done) and then you archive it (by clicking on \u201cArchive Task\u201d checkbox), the task will automatically reappear in the status at which it was at the moment you created the task and set the options for the task to repeat (in case with this example, it will automatically reappear as a new task in the status Open)<\/li>\n<li>The name of the task will remain the same<\/li>\n<li>The due date of the task will be the date at which you set the task to be repeated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
