Set up a template for weekly or biweekly projects that start on different days of the week
When setting up a project that occurs weekly or biweekly (every 2 weeks), you must specify which day of the week the project is due. This frequency factor is most often used for payroll or payroll related projects that may be due on different days of the week for each client. Using the weekly recurrence option, you can create a separate template for each day of the week the project is due. If you also have similar projects that are due every other week, you'll need to create separate templates for those as well, resulting in many templates needing to be created and managed.
The following steps provide an alternate way to set up weekly and biweekly projects that occur on different days of the week without needing to set up a separate project template for each day:
- SelectSetup,Templates, thenProjects.
- SelectAdd.
- Enter the project information on theMaintab.
- On theDatestab, set theRecursoption toDaily.
- For projects that occur every week, set theDue everyoption to7. For projects that occur every 2 weeks, set theDue everyoption to14.
- Complete the remaining fields on theDatesandTaskstabs and selectEnterto save the new template.
- Add the project to a client and change theDue dateto the next date this project will be due for the selected client.
- The project will regenerate every week or every 2 weeks on the same day of the week.
