<p>Thank you for your question</p>
<p>If I understand you correctly I think you might benefit from
looking at Project Templates <a href=
"https://dooster.tenderapp.com/kb/projects/project-templates-cloning">
https://dooster.tenderapp.com/kb/projects/project-templates-cloning</a></p>
<p>ie you set up a project with your various standard requirements
and can quickly copy it over for new clients</p>
<p>However your requirement might be much simpler? eg you can
indeed set recurring tasks to occur on specific workdays - Simply
select the Weekly / Daily option</p>
<p>Please see <a href=
"https://dooster.tenderapp.com/kb/tasks-advanced/recurring-tasks">https://dooster.tenderapp.com/kb/tasks-advanced/recurring-tasks</a></p>
<p>If neither of these is a solution please contact me again and we
might be able to make some changes in order to accommodate your
requirement</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Neither the project templates or the day of week option work do
exactly what I need.</p>
<p>All accounting organizations of any size generally arrange their
close cycles along a workday concept. On the 1st workday certain
tasks are completed, others on the 2nd workday and so on with
financial statements being delivered somewhere around the 10th
workday. The 1st workday could occur on Monday the 1st in one
month, it could occur on Monday the 3rd in another month, Thursday
the 1st in another month or even on Thursday the 2nd if there
happens to be a holiday on the 1st.</p>
<p>If we don't have a workday option you basically have to reset
the delivery date for each of the recurring tasks each month to
manually accommodate the timing of weekends in your closing
schedule. It is not uncommon to have over 500 tasks that would need
to be manually adjusted in a typical accounting close schedule thus
increasing the monthly maintenance time for a system like this by a
factor of over 500.</p>
<p>Now that you have an idea of what I am trying to accomplish, do
you have any thoughts of a way to accomplish this in Dooster?
Having this capability would open the product up to managing
accounting close cycles throughout the world since very few
competing systems accommodate this.</p>

<p>Any further thoughts on how we can implement workdays into our
recurring schedule. Is it possible to have a phone conversation
about this?</p>
<p>Dave</p></div>John tag:dooster.tenderapp.com,2011-05-09:Comment/315997612014-02-19T01:09:15Z2014-02-19T01:09:15ZWork days<div><p>Hello Dave</p>
<p>Sorry I'm a bit confused because you seem to be asking us to
automate something that has to be set manually</p>
<p>Ie you say</p>
<blockquote>
<p>it could occur on Monday the 3rd in another month, Thursday the
1st in another month or even on Thursday the 2nd if there happens
to be a holiday on the 1st.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So these conditions vary depending on the particular project
?</p>
<p>Apologies if I misunderstand but in any event perhaps the best
way forward is to outline exactly how you visualise the recurring
feature could acommodate your requirement ie what option(s) would
you like to see offered on the user interface</p>
<p>If you let us know we might be able to do it</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>

<p>I have an example that I drafted for the particular feature that
I am inquiring about. Do you have an email address that I could
send it to?</p>
