Setting up repeating actions and projects

When you have something that needs to be done more than once, you can set it up as a repeating item.
Select the item you want to repeat.
Open the inspector from the Inspectors menu or by clicking the Inspectors button in the toolbar.
Choose a Repeat type from the list. You can have it repeat at a specified interval after its completion, its start date, or its due date.
Enter a repeat interval. This can be any number of minutes, hours, days, months, or years.
To schedule an action on specific weekdays, enter a repeat interval in weekly increments and then select the days on which you'd like to repeat the item from the buttons below.
For example:
Start Tuesday 5:00 PM; due Tuesday 10:00 PM; start again 1 week: take out the trash. This repeats from the start date because it is necessary to do it at the same time every week, regardless of when you last did it.
Start today 12:00 AM; due today 6:00 PM; repeat every 5 days: clean the kitchen. This repeats from the completion date because the next time you need to do it depends on the last time you did it.
When you mark a repeating item as complete, the next instance of it is created with its start and due dates pushed forward as indicated by the Repeat interval. If you want an item to stop repeating, just turn off the Repeat setting in the inspector.
