Create a task (one-off or repeating)

To make a task, go to Tasks and press New task. Give it a title and a due date, and you are done. Everything else is optional.

Steps#

1. Tasks → New task. This opens the new-task form.
2. Title and Due date. Type what needs doing and pick when it is due. The title is required, and a repeating task also needs a due date.
3. Priority. Pick Low, Normal, High, or Urgent. This just helps you sort and spot the important jobs.
4. Notes (optional). Add any extra details under Notes.
5. Link an event type (optional). If finishing this task means logging an event, like a vaccination, pick it under Log an event on completion. Then completing the task opens a pre-filled event form for you.
6. Assign it (optional). Pick a farm member under Assign to so they know it is theirs.
7. Add animals (optional). Tie the task to one or more animals, so it shows up on their pages too.
8. Create task. The task lands on your Tasks list.

Make it repeat#

Open the Repeat dropdown to set a schedule. Your choices are:

Then pick when it stops, under Stops:

• Never, so it runs forever (the default), or
• After N occurrences (stop after that many tasks), or
• On date (stop after this day).

Good to know. A repeating task does not fill your list with future copies. The next one only appears when you mark the current one done. See How repeating tasks work.
