Is it possible to repeat work to occur only on weekdays, Monday to Friday?
The option to avoid weekends create a duplicate work item to fall on the Friday

Hi Marie,
I’m not sure I understand your question. When you set up the repeating work, you do have the option of clicking the box to ‘Move work start / due dates to the Friday before if they fall on a weekend.’
Are you saying that when you check that box, the repeating schedule is creating two work items with the same due date?
I think Marie is asking to setup recurring work that repeats each MWF.
Setting up the work item to recur daily every two days only works for half the weeks and creates work items on the weekends that are unnecessary.
Two ways to handle:
Does any of that help?
I agree with Max on the “One work item recurring weekly starting on Monday and ending on Friday with task sections for each of the day’s work laid out”
I would add that upon set up, before setting the recurring schedule, in each section set the “start” date on each task so it only appears in your todos on the days they need to. Benefit in this is it reduces noise on your daily todo list and reduces risk of checking off a task that is not due yet if working quickly.
I would also add to set the repeating schedule to have the tasks created 1 day before the start of the work item so if you make changes each week, they can be populated in the following week without much maintenance.
Thankyou Everyone!!!
There is no option to set a repeating work to recur only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and NOT for Saturday and Sunday. Even if you tick the ‘Avoid Weekends’, the work for Saturday and Sunday are still created and clog up the work list, as at this time the only option is ‘Daily’ for frequency of recurrence. The workaround that Karbon support gave me is: see image.
This should be created as an option, to choose work to recur only on weekdays. This option is already found in nearly all other workflow management platforms.
