How To: Edit a Schedule

For what you can and can't edit on a schedule.

Written by Soraya Brown

To reduce confusion and possible mistakes, we have disabled the ability to change the frequency and end date on an active schedule.

If you require the frequency to be changed, we suggest you deactivate the schedule and copy it to create a new schedule with the new frequency you require.

You can edit the following areas of a schedule:

  1. Schedule Name

  2. Due Date

  3. Attachments

  4. Create Tasks in the Future

    1. How far in the future you want tasks to appear on your work board

❗Important

You can edit the Next Start Date

If a schedule is active, and you update the Next Start Date. This will adjust all incomplete tasks created by this schedule in line with this change.

When you move the schedule's date back or forward, the system will automatically adjust the existing tasks to match the new date. A message will appear indicating what will happen to the current tasks.

In cases where you have a smaller number of clients configured within the schedule, it may be easier and more efficient to remove the schedule and start again. This ensures that you do not inadvertently move tasks to undesirable dates.

Be cautious when making these changes to ensure that tasks are not moved to unintended dates.
