How to Create a Repeat or Recurrent Job in Mobile App?

What is the purpose of creating a repeat job?

The repeat job feature lets you schedule jobs to recur daily, weekly, or monthly, with options to end after a set date or number of occurrences. 

Let's say you are in the maintenance industry and have weekly equipment checks. Instead of manually adding that job to the schedule week after week, you just set it up once! You simply tell the system how often it should repeat and when it should stop (either on a specific date or after a certain number of times). This saves you the trouble and time of creating each job individually.

Benefits:

• Reduces manual effort by automating the creation of recurring jobs.
• Ensures tasks are performed at regular intervals, maintaining operational consistency.
• Offers flexibility in setting repeat intervals, end dates, or number of occurrences.

This guide will show you the step-by-step tutorial on how you can set up the recurrent jobs inside Caction :

1. Select ‘+ ‘ button to start create job.

*Note: A repeat job can only be set up during job creation.

2. Select job category.

3. Click the ‘Does not repeat’ button.

4. Set the frequency of the job to repeat.
   Example:
   Repeat every 1 day means the job will repeat every day.
   Repeat every 1 week means the job will repeat every week.
   Repeat every 1 month means the job will repeat every month.
