• Check the box next to Create as a Task
• Select the date when the Task is due (Use the drop down calendar to select the date)
• Manually enter the time using a 24hr clock format (ie: for 5pm, enter 17:00)

In this example, a General Task will be created.

There is an option to set up to two reminders for this task, a few days, hours, or minutes before the task is due.

• To set a reminder, check the box next to “Reminder #1” and select how far in advance the reminder should be set
• To set a 2nd reminder check the box next to “Reminder #2” and and select how far in advance the 2nd reminder should be set

The task can also be set as a Repeatable Task. To do this, check the box next to Task is Repeatable and then fill out the following:

• Repeats – select how often the task should Repeat (Daily, Weekly or Monthly)
• Repeats Every – how often will this task repeat (ie: every 2 days? every 1 week on Monday & Wednesday? every 6 months?)
• Repeat On – this option only appears when the Repeat Every is set to Weekly. This provides the option to select which days of the week the task will repeat.
• Ends – the task can be set to end:
  • Never
  • After a Specific # of Repeats
  • After a Specific Date
• Repeat Ends – appears if the Ends is set to After a Specific Date. Use the drop down menu to select the date when the task will end
• Create – this feature will display the task under the My Tasks tab only X days prior to when it is due. This feature is extremely useful for repeatable tasks so the people the task is being set up for do not end up with a long list of upcoming tasks under the My Tasks tab.
