4.2 Advance Repeats

Some schedules aren’t as predictable as calendar dates, but To Do gives you a great deal of additional flexibility in setting up repeating tasks. Selecting “Other...” from the Repeat list will give you access to a “Change Repeat” form with these options.

The top row of buttons lets you select the unit of time in which intervals between tasks are measured: days, weeks, months, or years.

For each of the four standard units of time, two more buttons let you select whether the task repeats at a fixed schedule (for example, paying bills) or a certain amount of time after the task was last completed (for example, changing a filter.)

Next, you can enter how many units of time elapse between doing the task, for example every 2 days or every 7 years.

You can optionally pick a date after which the task no longer repeats. If you leave this as “No End Date,” the task will repeat indefinitely.

Depending on the unit of time and scheduling option chosen, you may have additional options for further fine-tuning when the task is repeated. More detail on these is given below.

At the bottom of the form, a text box summarizes how often the task will repeat given the option you’ve currently selected.
