As do appointments, tasks can have a defined recurrence. For example, you may have to review each month’s sales figures by the end of the next month. Rather than enter a new task each month, you can define a task that recurs each month.

To define a recurring task, create the task as usual, and before saving and closing it, click the Recurrence button in the Options group of the Task tab of the Ribbon. Outlook opens the Task Recurrence dialog box, as shown in Figure 30-29.

FIGURE 30-29
Defining a recurring task.

The four basic patterns of recurrence are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. When you choose the basic pattern in the top left of the dialog box, the remainder of the options change to reflect what’s available:

• Daily: You can choose every so many days or every weekday.
• Weekly: You specify how often (every week, every two weeks, and so on) and the day or days of the week.
• Monthly: You specify which day of the month, either as a number (the 25th of each month, for example) or a day of the week (the first Thursday, for example).
• Yearly: You specify a specific date (June 12, for example) or a day of a month (the first Monday in June, for example).

In all cases, you also specify a start date and when the recurring task ends.
