TMGR: Recurring Task in Personal Task List Makes Many Entries (149805)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q149805 SUMMARY
When a recurring task is created in a team file, and the person assigned to
the task is sent an update, the person's Microsoft Team Manager for team
members task list is populated with one line for each of the subtasks that
make up the recurring task.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Team Manager for team members displays one entry for each sub-
task that makes up the original recurring task, assuming the person has
been assigned to each entry. Typically, this is done by dragging the
recurring task (summary) and dropping it onto the person in the People drag-
and-drop tool.
If the recurring task occurs every week for a year, then there will be 52
new tasks in the person's task list. These tasks are integrated into the
person's task list alphabetically. If there are other tasks entered, they
may seem to disappear because of the large number of tasks. Using the
Options button, you can change the sort to something other than task name.
