Creating a recurring event
A recurring event is an event that occurs more than once and on a regular basis (e.g., a weekly meeting or an annual anniversary). As with one-time events, it is best to move sequentially down the screen rather than to jump from field to field randomly.
Scheduling recurring events is similar to scheduling one-time events, except the emphasis is placed on the Repeat field options.
- Daily — Allows appointments to repeat every 1 day through 31 days (e.g., yoga every 2 days)
- Weekly
- Repeat every x weeks (e.g., labwork every 5 weeks)
- Weekdays to repeat on (e.g., history class every Monday and Wednesday)
- Monthly
- Repeat every x months (e.g., performance review every 3 months)
- Repeat on Each (e.g., visit mom the 1st of each month to help with medications)
- Repeat on the (e.g., staff meeting every 2nd Tuesday of the month)
- Yearly — Allows appointments to repeat once a year (e.g., anniversary)
- Rolling Event — These events will automatically advance to the next day until dismissed.
