Recurring tasks

For routines — sterilization logs, deposit reconciliation, weekly supply checks — set the task to recur and Teamio creates the next instance for you. Each instance is its own task with its own comments and history.

There are two ways to make a task repeat.

As you type it. In the composer, enter a recurrence phrase in plain language — every Monday, every day — and Teamio sets the repeat for you.

From the Task Details panel. This is where you fine-tune the schedule:

  1. Open the task (select its text) to slide out the Task Details panel.
  2. Find the Due Date section and select the Set to repeat link next to the heading.
  3. Choose a frequency from the select that appears: Never, Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
  4. Set the sub-options for that frequency (below).
  5. Select Save Changes.
  • Daily — tick Exclude Saturday and/or Exclude Sunday so weekday-only routines skip the weekend.
  • Weekly and Bi-Weekly — a Repeat on: button group lets you pick the day(s) of the week. Bi-Weekly runs every other week.
  • Monthly — set On day N of the month, or tick Repeat on Last Day of the Month so it always lands on the last day regardless of month length.
  • Yearly — set On the Nth day of [month], with the same last-day-of-month option.

Repeating tasks show their frequency in the list’s Repeats column as a clickable tag — selecting it filters the list to repeating tasks.

When you complete today’s instance (or a future-dated one), Teamio creates the next instance immediately, so the series never has a gap. A duplicate check prevents a second copy if the next instance already exists.

A separate overnight job — run in your practice’s local timezone — only rolls forward repeating tasks that were left incomplete and whose due date was yesterday. So an instance you finish early won’t wait for the overnight job; the next one is already on your list.

To end a recurring task, delete it and choose Yes - All instances in the Delete Repeated Task prompt. To skip just one occurrence without ending the series, choose Yes - Delete next instance only instead.

  • Recurring tasks shine on Today’s Dashboard — the morning routine is just there every day.
  • For a multi-step routine, spell the steps out in the task’s subtasks so whoever picks it up can tick them off.
  • If an instance didn’t appear when expected, see a recurring task didn’t appear.
