Tasks on specific Working Days each month

Asked by Matthew Tyler

Is there any provision for being able to schedule tasks on specific Working Days each month?

For instance, if a task is due to Working Day 5, it may be either the 5th or 7th of the month, depending on which day the month starts on etc.

This can also change depending on public and bank holidays, however I realize this might be difficult to factor in for each country.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

You can recur a task on a monthly basis and then check "keep on the same weekday". I think that should do what you want.

You´re right about the holidays: too much national differences to support.

Cheers, Frank

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I have tried that, however the "keep on the same weekday" seems to only match up to the first occurrence of that weekday in the same month. For example:

Monthly task scheduled for Friday 05/11/2010 (Working day 5). If I set it to recur on a monthly basis, and check "keep on same weekday", the next occurrence is scheduled for Friday 03/12/2010, which is Working Day 3 and is the first Friday of the month, instead of the 5th working day of the month, which is Tuesday 07/12/2010.

I can always manually schedule the task each month for the specific date in the meantime, so this is not so much a bug as a feature request.

Cheers,

Matthew

Right. I now better understand what you want. And indeed, that is not currently possible. You may want to add a feature request at http://taskcoach.uservoice.com although we already have feature requests for the next few decades so don't hold your breath :-)

Can you help with this problem?
