Things to be aware of:

Repeatable Actions are an integral part of forecasting work plans and budgets. Refer to Action Forecasting for more info.

If a Master Action is a Repeatable Action, it cannot have Repeatable Sub-Actions.

If a Master Repeatable Action and its Sub-Actions are all Completed, a new Master Repeatable Action is created with new Sub-Actions, all on the Master Action schedule not their own.

When completing a Master Action, if there are repeatable Sub-Actions, a message will pop-up, asking if a new Master Action is to be created for them:

•      If Yes, the new Master Action will have new repeatable Sub-Actions automatically assigned, based on those completed on the preceeding Master Action

•      If No, the new Sub-Actions will be created but will not be assigned to any Master Action and can then be managed individually.   If subsequently a Master Action is created from the preceeding Master Action, the new Sub-Actions will be attached to it
