As you manage your various projects and to dues and tasks within Trello
you may find the need to create a recurring card
to have a particular card we appear at a regular interval
let's take a look at this card for example
let's say I need to email my manager a weekly report
and this is something that I need to do each and every week
so how should I manage this card
should I archive it and then create a brand new card each and every week
well there's a much easier way
and the best way to do it is to enable the card repeater power up
to access your power up select the menu select power ups
and you will get your full list of power ups
now it should be noted if you are a free or basic user of Trello
you are only permitted one powerup per board
if you'd like to enable all of these power ups
you will need to upgrade to Trello business-class
so here's the card repeater power up
and I'm going to enable it
there's really no other settings that we need to adjust at this point
we can close this menu
so now when I go into this email manager weekly report
you will see that I have an additional button here under power ups
I have a repeat button
so if I click on this I get a few different options as to how frequently
how often do I want this particular card to repeat
we've got three choices here
weekly monthly and yearly
and if you'd like to have something more frequently
let's say you do have something that you want to repeat daily
you would simply need to check the weekly option
and then check all the days of the week
but in most cases not a lot of people have particular tasks
that they're going to be managing that frequently
so now let's say in this example here
I want to set it at weekly
and I'm going to leave it at 12 noon
that sounds like a good time for this card to display
and I want it to pop up on Thursday
I need to get it in before the end of the week
so maybe Thursday at noon with good time for this card to reappear in this particular list
I do have a few additional options here below
I don't have to do it every week
it could be every two weeks or some other distance criteria that that we like depending on what you pick above
so for example if I select monthly
I can choose not only the number of the number of months
but other choices will come up
such as you know do I want on the first of the month
which date of the month
or maybe I just want it on the very last day of the month
but let's go back to our weekly example
weekly on Thursday
I do want it to appear every week
you also get a choice of which list you would like this card to reappear
and I'm going to stay with tasks
and lastly what position do I want it to appear at the very top of my Trello list or at the bottom
I'm going to say top
and then depending on the complexity of the settings up above here
I think it's nice the Trello gives us a nice summary of what we've selected
you will see this card repeat on March 30th 2017 at 12:00 p.m.
so it tells you the next time that this card is going to repeat
and then another helpful note below that is if this card is deleted or moved to another board will stop repeating the card
so as long as you archive this card and keep this card within this particular board
it will continue to repeat
all I need to do is select save here
you can see my next repeat here at the top of the Trello card
and I can get on with my day
so now when I select this card and let's say I've completed it
so I'm going to say archive tells me that this card is archived
but in just a day's time in that tomorrow happens to be Thursday
that card is going to reappear at the top of my list
so if you have the need to have certain cards repeat or reappear at a certain time
be sure to check out the card repeater power up
