Create a task (one-off or repeating)

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

Steps#

1. Tasks → New. This opens the new-task form.
2. Title and Due date. Type what needs doing and pick when it is due. These two are required.
3. Priority. Pick Low, Normal, High, or Urgent. This just helps you sort and spot the important jobs.
4. Details (optional). Add a description with any extra notes.
5. Link an event type (optional). If finishing this task means logging an event, like a vaccination, link the event type. Then completing the task opens a pre-filled event form for you.
6. Assign it (optional). Pick a farm member as the assignee 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. Save. The task lands on your Tasks list.

Make it repeat#

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

Then pick when it stops:

• An end date (stop after this day), or
• End after N times (stop after that many tasks), or
• Leave both blank so it runs forever.

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.
