> A recurring work order is one that is scheduled to repeat at specific intervals. You will find them in the **Recurring Schedules** tab in your Work Orders module.
> 
> Managing repetitive tasks like cleaning, landscaping, or vendor services can be time-consuming. Recurring Work Orders solve this by automatically generating tasks based on a schedule you define — so your building operations run smoothly without manually recreating the same work order every week or month.

> 
> # Filtering Your Schedules
> 
> You can filter your recurring work orders by building to see what is planned for a specific property, or narrow your view further by:
> 
> - **Tenant:** See scheduled work orders for a specific tenant
> 
> - **Category:** View all recurring tasks within a certain category
> 
> - **Assigned User:** See all schedules assigned to a specific person
> 
> - **Created by:** View schedules created by a specific manager or admin
> 
> * * *
> 
> # Automations Behavior
> 
> Recurring Work Orders inherit existing automation rules, including automatic assignment and priority rules. This ensures recurring tasks follow the same standards as manually created work orders.
> 
> * * *
> 
> # Current Limitations
> 
> Recurring Work Orders currently do not support:
> 
> - Pausing a schedule
> 
> - Limiting the number of repetitions
