How can Smartsheet users schedule recurring tasks?

The correct choice for scheduling recurring tasks in Smartsheet is to use the recurrence feature in task settings. This feature allows users to set up a task to automatically repeat at specified intervals, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. This saves time and ensures consistency, as users do not need to recreate or manually input the task each time it occurs; instead, the task will automatically populate on the designated schedule.

Setting reminders and adding recurring dates in the Date field do not directly create a task that repeats automatically. Reminders serve to notify users of upcoming deadlines or tasks, while recurring dates would require manual adjustments and would not fundamentally create a series of recurring tasks. Duplicating tasks manually would be inefficient and prone to errors, especially if tasks are meant to occur frequently. The recurrence feature is specifically designed to manage such automated scheduling, making it the most effective and streamlined method for managing recurring tasks in Smartsheet.
