Creating a recurring event

A recurring event is an event that repeats on a regular basis: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. For example, if you have to make a report every Monday, you can add the same event to your calendar several times or create this event once and specify how often it occurs using the Repeat Event feature.

This guide explains how to configure a recurring event.

Click Create New... in the upper-left corner and select the Event, or left-click the day on which you wish to create an event and click Details. The Create new event page will open. Complete the basic information, including name, location, date, and time; add a description if needed.

To mark an existing event as recurring, click the event title and click Edit at the bottom of the pop-up window.
