Create Repeat Tasks
If you're creating your tasks manually, we've made it easy and convenient to create tasks that repeat every week. Instead of creating them one at a time, you can create multiple tasks at once. For example, if you have a quiz in class every Wednesday, set the date of the first quiz, enter all the additional information you need, and click "repeat task." Select the repeat pattern in the small overlay; in this example, every Wednesday, and it ends repeating at the end of classes.
Select which information you want to copy into each repeated task and click "set dates." Once you're happy with the info you put in, click "next." Shovel will find all the dates this task should repeat on, based on your specifications. If for some reason you don't have a quiz on a certain date, just delete the quiz from that day. And if for some reason you have multiple of the same tasks on one day, for example, you may have multiple single-spaced PDF readings due on one day, you can duplicate those tasks easily too. When you're happy with the list, click "create" and now you've created multiple tasks in under a minute.
As I mentioned before, we did everything we could to make adding tasks as easy as possible because we know how beneficial it is to have all your tasks from all your classes in one place.
