Work items: Repeating tasks

Hyperproof makes it easy to simplify your routine activities with repeating tasks. Once a repeating task is created, you can view and manage it directly from the Automations tab. Repeating tasks can be attached to a control, label, or risk.

You can set a task to repeat based on a schedule or an event. Tasks that repeat based on a schedule can be set to repeat on an interval of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. Once you’ve set the interval, you can set the task to start repeating immediately or at a date in the future.

Note

If you deactivate the user who created the repeating task template, no further tasks are created from the template. You must recreate the repeating task template. To find repeating task templates by the creator, go to Work Items > Repeating tasks and filter using the Created by field.

To view repeating tasks you must:

  • Be the assignee for the repeating task

  • Be the creator of the repeating task

  • Be a contributor or manager member of the control, risk, or label that is the target of the repeating task

Event-driven repeating tasks

Can a repeating task be assigned to a group?

Yes, repeating tasks can be assigned to groups. For some organizations, it’s hard to know exactly who should be assigned to complete a task. Oftentimes, all you are sure of is what team is responsible. Assigning a repeating task to a group allows the group to decide which member is ultimately responsible for completing the task.

When a group is assigned a repeating task, all members of the group receive a notification alerting them of the new task. Any group member can assign themselves as the task owner.
