Choose Insert Task.
Add the details by double-clicking on the task
In the Schedule tab, set the relevant times for the task, such as the Work Duration and the specific Start time, to make it the exact time required.
In the Detail section, the Task Type can be chosen from the dropdown, and any that you have created before will be available to choose from.
To make it a regularly repeating task, right-click on the task
Choose Duplicate Selected Tasks… and in there choose Offset Date / Time.
It is then possible to set the No. of Copies and the Offset which can be used to change the time to be every 'Hour', 'Day', 'Week', 'Month', 'Quarter' or 'Year' or any quantity of these, such as every 2 weeks, every 4 months or every quarter.
That will put the task at those points in the future.
