How do I manage recurring tasks?

Some tasks are things that get completed once. Others need to be done again and again - for example, taking a backup of your computer.

In DeskAway, you can set this task as ‘recurring’ so that the system remembers that the task needs to be performed again daily, monthly, quarterly or yearly.

On doing so, a new task of the same name & description will be automatically created on completion of the parent task with a new deadline.

Product Update: Small Fixes

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

A few small fixes…

Fixed: Monthly recurring tasks date issue
Tasks were not recurring on the set monthly deadline. This is because we were calculating months as a fixed 30 days so this issue came up when months had fewer than 30 days (Feb) or had 31 days. Now, if a monthly recurring task has a  deadline of 31st October then the new recurring task will be 31st December and not November - this works the same way as Google Calendar monthly recurring events.

Fixed: Upload Files in the Issue section
Files are properly uploading to the issues section of each project. Earlier, there were issues with certain file types and names.

Fixed: Wrong deadline for GMT -5
For this timezone the deadline would come back 1 day earlier.  This has been resolved and tested with other time zones as well.

Fixed: Adding time to Tasks
The time clock icon would not show up when time was added to a task unless a page refresh was forced.

Fixed: Google Apps login help
We have added some more help and informative error messages on the login window for the Google Apps login.
