Create a recurring task

A recurring task automatically repeats based on the schedule you set. Instead of creating the same task manually each time, SNDQ generates new task instances for you. This helps you handle important operational work consistently across your portfolio — for example annual inspections, semi-annual maintenance checks, or quarterly follow-ups.

Step-by-step guide

Open the task form

• Open Tasks & Notifications
• Go to Tasks
• Open the Add task dropdown and select the recurring task option

Fill in the task details

• Fill in:
  • Title, Description
  • Urgency, Type

Make it recurring

• Set:
  • Execution date — the date of the first task instance
  • Repeat every — how often the task repeats (see Schedule examples below)
  • Repeat on — only for weekly schedules
  • Ends — Never ends / On a date / Amount of times
• Choose who the task is assigned to

More options (optional)

• Click More options
• Under Linked, choose what this task is related to:
  • Building, Rental contract, or a single unit
• (Optional) Choose a Supplier

Save

• Click Add task

SNDQ creates the first task instance immediately. The next instances are created automatically — see How recurrence works below.

Schedule examples

Use Repeat every to set the interval:

What you need	Repeat every	Unit
Every year	1	year
Every 6 months (semi-annual)	6	month
Every quarter	3	month
Every month	1	month
Every 2 weeks	2	week
Every week (specific days)	1	week — then pick days under Repeat on

TIP

If the task should stop automatically, set Ends to On a date or Amount of times.

How recurrence works

Once you save a recurring task, SNDQ keeps generating new task instances based on your schedule. You do not need to recreate the task manually each time.

When is the next task created?

1. When you close the current task — closing a recurring task instance triggers the next one (if the schedule has not ended).
2. On the scheduled date — if the current task is still open when the next date arrives, SNDQ creates the next instance automatically (checked daily).

Important to know

• The next task date is calculated from the execution date of the current instance, not from the day you close the task.
• Example: a yearly task with execution date 1 January 2026 → the next instance is scheduled for 1 January 2027, regardless of when you close the 2026 task.
• If you close the current task early, the next instance may appear sooner than the next calendar due date. That is expected.
• To stop recurrence, set Ends to On a date or Amount of times, or delete the recurring task template.
