Appointments can be set to recur at specified intervals, either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. You can use the Edit recurrence pattern dialog box to determine how often you want an appointment to occur.
The dialog box is split into three areas.
Appointment Time
Lists the start and end time for the appointment, along with the length of time the appointment will last.
Recurrence Pattern
Here you can specify how often and when you want the appointment to recur.

Description |
|
Daily |
The Daily settings allow you to repeat an appointment every specified number of days or only on working days:
For example, setting the appointment to Every 2 day(s) will make the appointment appear every other day. Setting the appointment to Every weekday will make the appointment appear only Monday through Friday, by default. |
|
Weekly |
The Weekly settings allow you to repeat the appointment on every specified week on specified days:
For example, setting the appointment to Recur every 2 week(s) on and selecting Tuesday and Thursday will repeat the appointment every other week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. |
|
Monthly |
The Monthly settings allow you to repeat an appointment on every specified date at a specified interval of months or on a specified day and week of the month at a specified interval of months:
For example, setting the appointment to Day 8 of every 2 month(s) will make the appointment appear on the 8th of every other month. Setting the appointment to The 3 Monday of every 2 month(s) will make the appointment appear on the 3rd Monday of every other month. |
|
Yearly |
The Yearly setting allows you to repeat an appointment on a specified date or a specified day and week of a specified month:
For example, setting the appointment to Every February 2 will make the appointment appear on February 2nd every year. This setting is ideal for birthdays and anniversaries. Setting the appointment to The 1 Friday of February will make the appointment appear on the 1st Friday in February every year. |
Range of Recurrence
Specify the start and end time for the recurrence pattern here. The Start text box represents the date from which the recurrence will start. There are three options to choose from for an end date:
• No end date will make the appointment recur indefinitely.
• End after 10 occurrences will make the appointment recur a specified number of times. For example, if an appointment repeated every day, setting End after 25 occurrences would allow the appointment to repeat every day 25 times.
• End by will make the appointment recur until the date specified.
