This dialog allows you to customize a recurrence pattern that defines a recurring task‘s behavior.

Note

Recurring task duration depends on the number of task recurrences.

Invoke the Dialog

Right-click an empty row in the Task View’s sheet and select “Insert Recurring Task…” in the context menu to invoke the dialog.

Recurrence Pattern

A recurrence pattern defines the task repetition frequency in VCL Gantt Control.

You can choose one of the following pattern types:

Daily

This pattern specifies if the task repeats after the specified number of days (from Sunday to Saturday) or workdays (depending on the calendar assigned to the control).

Weekly

This pattern allows you to schedule the task repetition on one or more specified days on a weekly basis.

You should select at least one day to repeat a task; otherwise, the following warning appears:

Monthly

This pattern allows you to schedule the task once on a monthly basis.

The control can repeat the task as follows:

  • On the same day per the specified number of months. You should specify a day of the month (from 1 to 31 ) and a month interval between task recurrences.
  • On the same day of the week in the same relative position in the month, based on the number of months between each occurrence. You should select a day’s ordinal number, day of the week, and month interval between task recurrences.

Yearly

Use this pattern to repeat the task once on a yearly basis.

The control can repeat the task as follows:

  • On the same day and month every year. You should specify a month and day of the month to repeat the task.

  • On the same day of the week in the same relative position in a specific month. You should select a day’s ordinal number, day of the week, and month to repeat the task.

Range of Recurrence

In this pane, you can specify when a recurring task starts and choose whether the task ceases to repeat after the specified number of occurrences, or depending on the date and time of the last task in the recurring task chain.

Calendar for Task Scheduling

You can specify which calendar to use in task recurrence calculation. You can create a custom calendar or choose one of the following calendars:
