Some work never finishes, it just comes back. Weekly check-ins, monthly reviews, standing deliverables: set a measure to repeat and elyvate keeps the series going, so routine work returns on schedule without anyone recreating it by hand.
Setting the rhythm
Create a recurring measure straight from the create measure modal, or make any existing measure recurring at any time: open it and choose Make recurring from the More menu in the drawer. Either way the recurrence shows as Continuous: the same measure moving from one date to the next, not a stack of copies. Set the rhythm: daily, weekly, or monthly, down to patterns like every third Wednesday.
When you choose Make recurring on an existing measure, the recurrence settings open in the drawer, above the title, with the same options as the create measure modal. The measure's current due date becomes the start of the recurrence, or today if no due date is set. From then on, the schedule sets the due date. Click Save to make the measure recurring, or Discard to leave it unchanged. Once a measure is recurring, its More menu shows Edit recurrence instead of Make recurring, so you only ever see the option that applies.
Decide when it ends
You decide when a recurrence ends. Add an end date or a set number of occurrences and the series stops there. Leave both off and it runs for six months from its start, then stops. The recurrence settings tell you when it will end.
This occurrence, or the entire series?
When you update a recurring measure, you choose whether the change applies to that occurrence only or to the whole series. To change the schedule itself, open Edit recurrence from the measure's menu.
How occurrences behave
Each occurrence is a normal measure: it gets its own reminders (starts tomorrow, due tomorrow, due today) and goes overdue like any other if it isn't finished
A new occurrence appears on schedule without pinging anyone. You'll hear about it through its start and due reminders
Assignees carry over from the series, and the status resets to In Progress
The automatic move of a due date to the next occurrence never counts toward the escalation limit. Only edits made by a person count, and each occurrence starts with a full allowance
A worked example
A quality check recurs every Thursday. Each week the measure comes back with the same assignees, resets to In Progress, and reminds the team the day before it starts, the day before it's due, and on the day itself. Complete it and next Thursday's occurrence is already on its way. Miss it and it goes overdue like any other measure until it's done.
Good to know
You can spot a recurring measure at a glance: it carries a recurring icon on its card on the board and next to its title in the drawer.
You can stop a series any time with Delete recurrence in the measure's menu (it asks you to confirm). The current measure stays as a normal, one-off measure and nothing already on the board disappears.
When a series reaches its end date or final occurrence, the people responsible are notified that no more occurrences are coming.
An escalated recurring measure doesn't move on: the series waits until the escalation is resolved. Completing the measure resolves it and the series continues.
While a measure is Escalated, only Work Package Leads, Project Leads and Consultants can make it recurring or edit its recurrence (see Escalation flow).
Make recurring isn't available on a Completed measure. Move it out of Completed first and the option comes back.
