Keep Up With Tasks, Reminders, And Recurring Work

Use manual tasks, auto-generated breeding tasks, and reminders so work gets scheduled instead of remembered too late.

What This Helps You Do

Create tasks and reminders that a beginner can trust, including recurring chores and automatic milestone work tied to breeding or litter activity.

Overview

When To Use

  • You need to schedule barn work, health checks, recurring chores, or breeding-related milestones.

Step-By-Step Guide

1

Create a one-time task correctly

Start with the simple case so you can confirm the task system is behaving the way you expect.

1.1 Open Tasks

Open Tasks from the sidebar or mobile menu.

What You Should See
  • You should see the task list and an action to add a task.
1.2 Add the task

Use the add task action and enter a clear title, due date, and any rabbit or workflow details that belong with it.

What To Enter
  • Use a title that tells you exactly what to do, such as "Check nest box for Juniper" rather than "Rabbit task".
1.3 Save and confirm

Save the task and make sure it appears in the list.

What You Should See
  • The task should appear in the task list with the date you selected.
You Should Now Have
  • You now have a visible one-time task in the task list.
2

Add reminders or recurring timing only when needed

This prevents overcomplicating simple tasks while still letting repeated chores run automatically.

2.1 Turn on reminders only if you need a timed alert

Enable reminder options and set the reminder date and time if the task should notify you.

Watch For This
  • If reminders later feel wrong, check notification permission, reminder date, reminder time, and timezone settings before assuming the feature failed.
2.2 Use recurrence for repeating chores

If the task repeats every day, week, or month, set recurrence instead of creating many copies manually.

What You Should See
  • The saved task should show recurring behavior or series controls if recurrence is enabled.
You Should Now Have
  • The task should now be set up as either a one-time action or a repeating task, not both by accident.
3

Check automatically generated tasks separately

This helps you understand the difference between tasks you create and tasks produced by breeding or litter workflows.

3.1 Review generated tasks after breeding or litter changes

After you create a breeding or work with litter milestones, check the task list to make sure expected follow-up tasks appeared.

If You Don't See This
  • If those tasks are missing, review the related settings before you manually rebuild everything yourself.
You Should Now Have
  • You can now tell whether the task system issue is with manual entry, reminders, or generated milestones.

You're Done When

  • Saved tasks appear in the list.
  • Recurring tasks show the expected repeat behavior.
  • Reminder-dependent tasks have the right date and time attached to them.

Common Mistakes

  • Turning on reminders without checking time, timezone, or permission settings.
  • Editing generated task timing in one place while expecting every related setting to update automatically.

If Something Still Looks Wrong

Why did a task or reminder not show up?

Check whether the task exists, whether reminders are enabled, whether notification permissions were granted, and whether the timing settings match your current timezone and reminder time.

Why are breeding-related tasks off by a few days?

Review your palpation, nest box, and weaning settings. Those defaults drive many automated task dates.

FAQ

Can I edit one recurring occurrence without changing the whole series?

Yes. Recurring edit flows support single-occurrence and broader series edits so you can choose the right scope.

When To Contact Support

  • Tasks save but disappear immediately.
  • Reminder settings are correct and permitted, but alerts still never arrive.
