Calendar: Set up an event that recurs

You can schedule an event to repeat over time in a specific pattern. Once you have scheduled a repeating event, you can't change it to be non-repeating. You can only delete unwanted occurrences, or delete the whole event and start over.

To schedule a repeating event, complete the following procedure:

In either the Edit Event or Edit Task window, select the Repeat checkbox, or click Change Repeat Pattern.

The Recurrence window opens.

Choose whether you want the event or task to occur daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, and click the corresponding circle.

The contents of the box on the right changes depending on which circle you clicked. The weekly contents display as the default.

You can make settings in only one time period. The settings for the last time period you click are the settings that will be used for this event or task.

In box on the right, click the repeat pattern you want.

Each time period has different choices, as shown in the following table:

Time Period	Repeat Pattern Choices	Explanation
Daily	Every day	Event repeats daily.
	Every (day combination of your choice)	Event repeats combination of days you choose in the pull-down menu.
	Every (fill in the number) days	Event repeats once every number of days you enter in the text box.
Weekly	Every week	Event repeats weekly.
	Every (fill in the number) weeks	Event repeats once every number of weeks you enter in the text box.
	Repeat On (weekday of your choice)	Select the checkbox corresponding to the day of the week this event will repeat on. Defaults to today's day of the week.
Monthly	Every month	Event repeats monthly.
	Every (fill in the number) months	Event repeats once every number of months you enter in the text box.
	Repeat On	Choose either to have it repeat on a specific day of the month, or one day of a specific week each month. For example, the first Tuesday.
Yearly	Every year	Event repeats yearly.
	Every (fill in the number) years	Event repeats once every number of years.
	Repeat On	Choose either to have it repeat on a specific day of a specific month or one day of a specific week in a specific month. For example, the first Saturday in April.

For example, if you are scheduling a weekly event, click either Every week, or Every (number) weeks. You enter the number of weeks in the text box.

If you want to schedule an event or task for the last day of every month, choose to have it repeat on the 31st day of every month. This will automatically be adjusted to occur on the last day of all months, no matter how many days they have. For example, February's event or task will be on the 28th (unless its leap year, when it will be the 29th). In March it will again be on the 31st, but in April it will be on the 30th, and so forth.

(Optional) Choose an appropriate start date for your event by entering it directly into the text input box, or by using the Jump To icon.

The date is prefilled to the current date on the calendar being displayed in the View tab. If you do not want an event scheduled for the current day, be sure to specify the correct date to start these repeating events. The system will schedule an event or task for the start date, even if it doesn't match the pattern you just chose. Then the system will automatically set up events or tasks starting with the next date that matches your pattern.

For instructions on using the Jump To, see Using the Jump To icon.

Choose an end date using any of the following methods:

Choose a specific end date by entering it into the text input box or by using the Jump To icon.
Specify the number of instances to create.
The maximum number of instances allowed per event or task is displayed in a text message at the bottom right of the window. If you try to specify a number greater than the maximum, the system prompts you to choose a smaller number. It will not allow you to specify a number that exceeds the maximum.
Click No end date.

For all options, the system will create only the maximum number of events or tasks allowed by the system configuration. All dates past that limit will be ignored.

Click OK to return to the Edit Event or Edit Task window.

Once you click OK, you can't make the event or task non-recurring, but you can change the repeat pattern.
