1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.

Notes

• With Project, you can use an outline (outline: A hierarchical structure for a project that shows how some tasks fit within broader groupings. In Project, subtasks are indented under summary tasks.) to organize your schedule (schedule: The timing and sequence of tasks within a project. A schedule consists mainly of tasks, task dependencies, durations, constraints, and time-oriented project information.) as you enter tasks or you can wait until you enter all of your project tasks. When you outline a schedule for your project, you simplify its organization so that your project is easier to create, manage, and maintain.
• The task IDs (task ID: A number that Project automatically assigns to a task as you add it to the project. The task ID indicates the position of the task with respect to the other tasks.) are automatically renumbered after you insert a task.

1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.
2. In the Task Name field, select the row below where you want the recurring task to appear.
3. On the Insert menu, click Recurring Task.
4. In the Task Name box, type the task name.
5. In the Duration box, type or select the duration of a single occurrence of the task.
6. Under Recurrence pattern, click Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
7. Specify the task frequency and select the check box next to the day of the week that the task should occur.
8. Under Range of recurrence, type a start date in the Start box, and then click End after or End by.
9. If you clicked End after, type or select the number of occurrences for the task.

   If you clicked End by, type or select the date you want the recurring task to end.

Notes

• The task IDs (task ID: A number that Project automatically assigns to a task as you add it to the project. The task ID indicates the position of the task with respect to the other tasks.) are automatically renumbered after you insert a task.
• The recurring task indicator will appear in the Indicators field.
• If you want to apply a calendar (calendar: The scheduling mechanism that determines working time for resources and tasks. Project uses four types of calendars: the base calendar, project calendar, resource calendar, and task calendar.) to your recurring task, under Calendar for scheduling this task, click the calendar you want to use.
• If you don't enter a date in the Start box, Project uses the project start date.
• If your recurring task will occur on any nonworking days, Project asks you if you want to reschedule those occurrences.
• If you want to assign a resource to the recurring task, click Assign Resources. If you assign resources directly by typing resource names in the Resource Names field, the resource will be assigned to the total work on the recurring task and not to the individual tasks as they occur.
