Repeating the same task across multiple months
Hi
I am building task lists for our global team for the rest of 2016 that I will be showing in a calendar view for them and setting up alerts and reminders on what has to be completed, when.
I have a number of tasks that need to be perfomed every month; how do I set these up to repeat?
The only way I can think of how to do this atm is to create different lists for each sub tasks for each month:
June
- Finalise data
- Produce reports
- Sign off data from senior mgmt
July
- Finalise data
- Produce reports
- Sign off data from senior mgmt
Is there a more streamlined way to do this?
Thanks

HB,
An option is the row Update Request.
I've had limited success with this primarily due to the UR being a one time link.
The UR goes to the person and they update the row to "reactivate" the row as a task.
They use their task list as normal, now that the task is back on the list.
When they finish, they update / complete the task.
When the cycle comes around again, they get the next task to "reactivate" the task.
So, I wasn't using the UR to get a status update, but rather to create the next task.
Hope that is clear.
Craig
