When handling a project, the same task often needs to be performed several times: for example, weekly meetings or status reports. The **recurring tasks** feature allows you to automate the creation of those tasks.

## Configuration

To enable recurring tasks, go to **Project -> Configuration -> Settings**, then activate **Recurring Tasks**, and **Save**.

Recurring tasks are now activated on all existing projects. The feature can be deactivated on an individual project by clicking the drop-down menu button **⋮** next to the project name, then going to **Settings -> Settings -> Task Management** and disabling **Recurring Tasks**.

### Set up task recurrence

In an existing task, go to the **Recurrent** tab, then check the **Recurrent** box. A set of options allows you to configure the frequency: **Days**, **Weeks**, **Months**, **Years**, and the number of repetitions.

On the scheduled recurrency date, a new task is created on your project dashboard with the following configuration:

- **Stage**: first stage of the project dashboard (**New** or equivalent);
- **Name**, **Description**, **Project**, **Assignees**, **Customer**, **Tags**: copied from the original task;
- **Milestones**, **Deadline**, **Timesheets**, **Chatter**, **Activities**: those fields are not copied;
- **Subtasks**: copied from the original task, which becomes a parent of all the tasks in recurrence;
- A **smart button** on the task displays the total number of existing recurrences.

Tip

To see the task in your project dashboard before the scheduled date, consider setting up the recurrence date to a day earlier.

### Edit or stop task recurrence

**To edit** the recurrence, open the task: a blue banner invites you to choose whether you wish to apply your changes to this task only or to a sequence of tasks.

**To stop** the recurrence, open the task, then go to the **Recurrency** tab and uncheck **Recurrent**.
