# Recurrence and suspension of resource tasks

When a resource task must be repeated over a period of time, use the recurrence feature. The **Refresh** feature drives the recurrence. When a time sheet is created, the refresh function runs and checks for assigned tasks in the time sheet period, or checks if the task has a recurrence pattern and is not suspended for the time sheet period. You can also refresh a time sheet from the time sheet header.

## Steps - Set up resource task recurrence

1. On a resource task, select **Related** > **Recurrence Pattern** to start the **Recurrence Wizard**.
2. On the first page of the wizard, specify the following fields:
  - Recurrence pattern: **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Monthly**, or **Yearly**.
  - Start date of the recurrence.
  - End date of the recurrence (set an end date or specify the number of occurrences).
  - Number of occurrences.
3. On the second page, specify:
  - The number of occurrences per week, or
  - The days of the week.
4. Click **Finish** to complete the wizard.

## Steps - Resource task recurrence suspension

You can suspend a recurrence for a certain period, for example, during a holiday period:

1. On a resource task, select **Related** > **Suspension**.
2. In the list, select **New** to create a new entry or **Edit** to update an existing entry.

A suspension must have a **Start Date** and an **End Date**. Optionally select a **Reason Code** for the suspension.
