Recurring Tasks

With recurring tasks you set up schedules that have Locari create new tasks automatically — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Mandatory appointments like smoke detector servicing or operating cost statements will never slip through the cracks.

Common Tasks

• Create a new schedule
• Edit or pause a schedule
• Delete a schedule
• Link a schedule to a template
• Manage task templates

How to

Create a new schedule

1. Open the Recurring tasks page (/tasks/recurring within the Tasks section).
2. Click New schedule at the top right.
3. Enter a Task title, e.g. "Smoke detector service Q1".
4. Choose a Recurrence pattern — e.g. Yearly.
5. Optionally assign a Template to inherit all default values.
6. Set the Type and Priority — e.g. Smoke detector maintenance / High.
7. Click Create — the schedule is active immediately and the next run time is calculated.

Example: Markus sets up a "Legionella test" schedule (Pattern: Yearly, Priority: High) for all 45 units in his portfolio. Locari creates the task automatically every year and makes it visible to his team.

Edit or pause a schedule

1. In the schedule list, click the three-dot menu (···) for the schedule you want to change.
2. Select Edit — the dialog lets you change the template, recurrence pattern, day of week/month, title, type, priority, and due offset. Click Save; the next run time is recalculated.
3. To pause, choose Deactivate from the same three-dot menu — the schedule is kept but no longer creates tasks. Use Activate to switch it back on.

Delete a schedule

1. In the three-dot menu, select Delete.
2. Confirm — the schedule is permanently removed. Tasks already created remain in place.

Link a schedule to a template

1. When creating or editing a schedule, choose an existing template in the Template field.
2. The template's default values (title, type, priority, due days) are copied into the schedule.
3. Individual fields can be overridden — the template is just a starting point.

Edit dialog — all fields

Audit and History

Every automatically created task appears in the task list with the actor "Locari AI" and the creation timestamp. The schedule itself records the last run time (last run).

Retention: Schedules and the tasks they produce are stored separately. Deleting a schedule does not remove the individual tasks already created.

Inactive schedules and created tasks

Use Show inactive in the list to display paused schedules and reactivate them. To filter and sort the individual tasks produced by schedules, use the Task list by type, priority, and status.
