You can repeat an activity for a finite number of times within a specified period by making it recurring.
The user must have the "Add activities" and "Manage assignees" permissions to be able to create a recurring activity.
Creating a recurring activity:
- In Activity Center, hover on the activity you would like to set as a recurring one and click Details.
- While on the activity details, click the "More actions" button (
) in the top right.
- Select "Repeat".
- In the Recurrence dialog box that opens:
- Set the recurrence pattern in the fields Repeat every and Repeat on.
- Set the start date in Starts on (current date by default).
- Select the end date of the recurring activity in Ends on (limited by the period of recurrence not exceeding one year), OR
- Set how many copies of the activity will be created in Number of occurrences (max 99).
- Click Apply.
The period of recurrence cannot exceed one year.
The maximum number of occurrences that can be set is 99.
If you want to have the number of occurrences exceeding 99, use Extend. To edit the recurrence pattern, use Reschedule.
As a result, there will be created a parent activity, named "Repetitions of {name of recurring activity}".
