Set/Delete repeating tasks

Repeating tasks, due times and reminders are the Premium “Repeat & remind” feature of TasksBoard.

1. Open the task and click the repeat icon (“Repeat”) in the row of buttons under the details.
2. Pick a preset: “Every day”, “Every weekday (Mon–Fri)”, “Every week”, “Every month”, “Every year”.
3. Or choose “Custom” for “every N days/weeks/months/years”; weekly rules can pick the days (for example Monday and Wednesday).

The rule appears as a chip in the open task; the card shows a small repeat icon next to the due date, with the rule as its tooltip.

When you complete a repeating task, TasksBoard creates the next occurrence right away: same title, details, labels and open subtasks, due on the next date of the rule (never before today), in the same list and position. Undoing the completion removes it again.

If you complete the task in the Google Tasks app, Gmail or Google Calendar instead, TasksBoard catches up within about 15 minutes and creates the next occurrence for you.

1. Open the task and click its due date.
2. Under the quick picks, set the “Time”.

The time shows next to the date on the card and on the calendar, and lists sorted by date order tasks by date and time.

Tasks with a due date can remind you: click the bell icon (“Remind me”) in the row of buttons under the details and choose “At the due time”, “30 minutes before”, “1 hour before” or “1 day before”. Tasks without a time are reminded at 9:00.

Reminders arrive as a notification in TasksBoard when it is open, and as a browser notification otherwise, when you have allowed TasksBoard notifications (the bell icon next to the gear, see notifications). To also get an email, turn on “Task reminders by email” under Notifications in your Account settings. Completing or deleting the task cancels its reminder.

• Repeats, times and reminders only work for tasks configured in TasksBoard. A repeating task created in Google’s own apps shows up with the due date of its current occurrence, and Google creates its next occurrence when you complete it.
• Reminders fire within about 5 minutes of the chosen time.
• When the next occurrence is created because you completed the task in a Google app, its reminder is scheduled the next time you open that task in TasksBoard.

Open the task and remove the repeat chip (hover it and click the cross), or choose “Does not repeat” in the repeat picker. Deleting a repeating task also ends the series: the next occurrence is only created when the task is completed.

Deleting one of those from TasksBoard only deletes the current occurrence. To stop the series, delete it from a Google Tasks client that knows about the repetition:

1. Open the task in the Google Tasks mobile app, or in the Google Tasks sidebar of Gmail or Google Calendar.
2. Delete it and choose “Delete all” (all occurrences) when asked.
