Additional information about reoccurring events

When you are creating an event that needs to repeat, you can choose from the following reoccurring options:

• Daily
• Weekly on specific day of the week
• Monthly on a specific day
• Annually on a specific day
• Every weekday
• Custom - allows an end date

The time for the reoccurring event(s) will mirror the original event. For example, if you schedule an event for a Tuesday from 9 am - 10 am and set it to reoccur weekly on Tuesdays, it will display on the calendar for every Tuesday from 9 – 10 a.m.
