Impossible Repeating Problem? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
As near as I can figure OF won't let me make this complicated, but not unrealistic, repeating project. Let's call it "Pay Mortgage" with the following steps:

1. Transfer money to checking
2. Write and mail check
3. Call bank and verify payment

It's clearly a Sequential project and I want to do it every month. While I might just make the overall project repeat, let's suppose I would like:

1. Transfer money to checking (start=25th, due=28th)
2. Write and mail check (start=31st, due=1st)
3. Call bank and verify payment (start=5th, due=10th)

[Ideally, step 3 would start 5 days after step 2 was complete but I *know* I can't do that]

I know I can make each action repeating but will it stay correctly sequential (e.g., will step 3 remain unavailable on the 6th if step 2 is still NOT complete)?

I assume setting the Project to "mark complete when last item complete" is a bad thing here? (Therefore this Project will always be active, which I don't like).

And won't this project go haywire if for some reason I don't complete all the actions one month?

Is there any way to do something like this? Or is just a stupid example?

Thanks,
Robert
