Scheduling Repeating Events

You can set up events to repeat at an indicated interval for a defined amount of time.

For example, your department has a weekly meeting for their staff. Schedule this meeting to repeat on a weekly basis so that your staff knows exactly when the meeting is and can plan for it.

Use the Repeating Schedule section of the Schedule Detail Maintenance window to set up an event to occur more than once. The system places the repeating event on the calendar for the defined times.

To schedule a repeating event:

Display the event you want to schedule as a repeating event on the Schedule Detail Maintenance window.
Click the Repeating tab to display the Repeat Scheduling window.
Click one of the following buttons to indicate how often you want the event to repeat:

Repeating Option	Event Repeats:
None	Does not repeat. This is the default.
Day	Each day. The system displays Every x days in the Description field.
Week	Each week. In the Repeat On field, select the day of the week on which you want the event to repeat. The system displays the corresponding description. For example, if the date falls on a Wednesday, the system displays Every week on Wednesday in the Description field.
Month	Each month. In the By field, select if you want the even to repeat each month by: Day of Week - The event repeats on the same day each month. For example, if you have scheduled the original event to occur on the first Thursday of the month, then the event will repeat on the first Thursday of each month. Date - The event repeats on the same date each month. For example, if you have scheduled the original event to occur on the 1st of the month, then the event will repeat on the 1st of each month. The system displays the corresponding description. For example: If the day is the last Thursday of the month, the system enters The last Thursday of every month in the Description field. If the date is the 28th, the system enters The 28th of every month in the Description field.
Year	Each year. The system displays the corresponding description. For example, if the date is the 28th of February, the system enters February 28th every year in the Description field.

In the Repeat Every field, change the frequency of the recurrence, if needed. The default is 1.

For example, select Weekly and Wednesday and then enter 2 in the Repeat Every field to repeat the event every other week on Wednesday. The Repeat Every field displays 2 Weeks for an event scheduled every 2 weeks and Every other week on Wednesday in the Description field.

In the End On field, select one of the following:

No End Date - The event repeats indefinitely.
Calendar Date - Enter the date you want the event to stop repeating.

Save your changes and exit the window.

Note: Once you create an event to repeat, the Recurring icon appears at the bottom of the Schedule Detail Maintenance window next to the event ID.
