Repeating Tasks

Hi Paul,

What you want is possible as far as recurring goes. Choose the task as recurring weekly (this is actually identical to recurring every 7 days, or if you choose two weeks, every 14 days etc.). The task will maintain the same time that you choose originally, which would be 10:00.

However, the task is not going to show every week on the calendar. It is a single task and each time you check complete, it will update the planned start date. Note: to recur correctly you must have a planned start date set, not just an actual start.

However, I think this does not use Task Coach correctly for your purpose here. Tasks in Task Coach are flexible items that have due dates, but they can be done before the due date, maybe done late, etc. The purpose of Task Coach is not to be a true calendar.

A meeting is a normal calendar item. You can't have the meeting before the exact time, and you can't do it late. It happens and you are there or not, and that's that. Thus, making it an item in Task Coach may not be the right approach. I keep a separate calendar where I mark ONLY absolutely hard-time items such as meetings. I use Task Coach only for less absolutely rigid items. Unfortunately, there is currently no interaction, no easy way to see Task Coach items alongside the true hard calendar items. But for me this is no problem because I just look at my hard calendar and I do Task Coach items around the hard schedule from the calendar.

Cheers,
Aaron
