3 questions related to improving task creation
Asked by Carolina Rub?:

Hello,

I have several questions related to improving task creation:

1. Would it be possible to have a special view of board, list, calendar and schedule, but for all projects, not only 1?![issue1.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/230821iFA89094628EAF37D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "issue1.JPG")
2. Would it be possible to mark the vacations of each user so as not to be able to create a task for them during their vacation period?
3. Would it be possible to mark a periodicity to a task? Daily, weekly, monthly...

If these functionalities do not exist in the base program, could you indicate the applications that would allow it?

Thank you!

Use [Recurring Checklists and Report](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228109/recurring-checklists-and-report?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=Atlassian_Community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Comment_3-questions-related-to-improving-task-creation_20221216) to solve 2 and 3 questions. My team developed this add-on to manage recurring tasks with a checklist.

***For your case:***

2. To achieve this, set a [recurring](https://saasjet.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SAASJET/pages/2248015901/Automatic+creation+of+Jira+issue+with+Checklist+by+Schedule) and to stop recurring during the user vacation period, Use [Enable/Disable feature](https://saasjet.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SAASJET/pages/2492661801/Enable+Disable+feature)

3. To set a daily/weekly task, use [recurring](https://saasjet.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SAASJET/pages/2248015901/Automatic+creation+of+Jira+issue+with+Checklist+by+Schedule) feature. It\`s a simple feature that acts as Jira schedule

If you consider using plugins the [ActivityTimeline plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220860/activitytimeline-resource-planning-time-tracking?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=marketplace&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=comments) could be a solution.

"1. Would it be possible to have a special view of board, list, calendar and schedule, but for all projects, not only 1?"

ActivityTimeline has a timeline view where you can see all users or teams in one calendar. In the Left Panel (like backlog) you can filter all tasks by "Project" and schedule the issues with simple drag-n-drop to a timeline.

"2. Would it be possible to mark the vacations of each user so as not to be able to create a task for them during their vacation period?"  

In the ActivityTimeline timeline view can warn you that issue is scheduled on a vacation. Currently, this is the only solution in Jira.

"3. Would it be possible to mark a periodicity to a task? Daily, weekly, monthly..."

In ActivityTimeline you can create custom events like booking, meetings, etc. with a recurrence.

If you found our features useful or have any additional requirements please feel free to ask me. We can [provide a demo session](https://activitytimeline.com/schedule-demo) for you if needed.

in short, no that is not possible OOTB. You would need to check the Marketplace for options.
