Creating recurring tasks from phone

msaringer says:
Hi,

I'm new to RTM and love it so far. I already bought the Pro because I could see that this is what I've been looking for!

One thing I can't figure out, though, is how to create recurring tasks from my phone. I can do it from the desktop client, no problem. When I create or edit tasks on the phone, I don't see a way to set a recurrence. Do I have to do that from the desktop and just sync it?

Thanks.

By default, the Repeat field is hidden. When adding a new task, you can set a repeat by tapping Menu | Add Field | Repeat, and selecting the repeat interval.

Alternatively, if you're using the Smart Add task bar, you can tap the Repeat button (second from the right once you start typing the task name) and selecting/typing the repeat interval that way.

Hope this helps!

Hi msaringer,

Adding a reccuring task on the phone should be as easy as on the desktop. When you start typing your new task, a new menu under the task entry should appear to help you adding the task with entries such as "^" to specify the due date, "!" to specify the priority, etc... and "*" to specify the recurrence. So entering "Clean cloth *after every week" will add the task and repeat it every week.

I hope this help.
