I’m trying out Airtable for some management/tracking applications for a non-profit theatre that I work with. I’m pretty sure that the Base in the Universe called “A Scheduling Framework” by @W_Vann_Hall will do what I need to do, but I’m struggling to figure out how to make multi-day subtasks work. (I’m sure I’m missing something obvious.)
What I want:
A process template for our social media marketing where it’s essentially by week instead of by day. So, essentially:
-
7 weeks prior to an event (the “date” of the parent/master task), I need 1 sub-task “Social Media post 1 of 1” that is a multi-day event that spans the entire week.
-
This is repeated 6 and 5 weeks prior; then we have 2 sub-tasks for 4 and 3 weeks prior (Social Media Post 1 of 2 and Social Media Post 2 of 2), and so on.
I’ve got the offset for each of the sub-tasks set up to be 49 days, 42 days, 35, etc. I have the duration for each set to 7 days. I’d like for each to-do to have a week-long duration… but it’s not happening. I can see what happened on the “Conference” example, but that’s not happening in my sub-tasks. Is it because they are sub-tasks? Does the master task need to be set up differently?
I can send a link to the base if necessary, but it’s not letting me put a link in the post.
Thanks in advance for help for a total newbie!
