Reoccurring Tasks

Hi There

I have been experiencing an issue with re-occurring tasks not re-occurring on the dates they have been set up to reoccur on- This happens randomly and across different projects and is very problematic.

An example which has been picked up on today. A task is set to reoccur monthly , once a month, with no end date.

It was due to re occur today 2nd May (which it did) it was completed and closed but has not reoccurred on the 2nd June as it should , instead its skipped a month and reoccurred on the 2nd of July instead.

This isn't the first time this has happened , it's happened across different projects /different tasks and is very random... When checked and looked into i can see that tasks have all been set up correctly to reoccur once a month but again they have skipped months for no apparent reason.

Is this anything to do with when the task is closed? i.e if the task is due on the 2nd May and is closed on the 1st May will this effect the task reoccurring on the 2nd of june?

As you can understand, to miss a task for an entire month (if i havent spotted it) is a big problem and it defeats the point to have a reoccurring feature if a PM has to check the tasks are reoccurring on the correct dates.

Is this a bug?

Thanks

Tip: How to print the Gantt View
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

Four types of task dependencies
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise
Task and Project numbering

Task Inline Editing Enhancement
Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
