Follow the following simple steps to create a recurring event in a calendar. This walk-through is intended for English speakers using Thunderbird with the Lightning extension installed or using Sunbird. This walk-through applies for all operating systems. This walk-through also assumes that you have already created a calendar.
- Click on the New Event icon.
- In the Title, Location, From and To fields.
- Select the calendar that the event will be created for in the Calendar drop-down menu.
- Put a check in the Repeat checkbox and then click on the "Set Pattern..." button.
- In the Occurs drop-down menu select how frequently this event will occur.
- In the Ever text-box type in how often the frequency will be relevant. For example, for an event that takes place every other week choose Weekly and then 2.
- If you choose a frequency of weekly or monthly you will be asked which days of the week or month the event will occur. Choose those that apply.
- If this event will occur indefinitely put a dot in "Repeat forever"
- If this event will only occur for a limited amount of time put a dot in either "Repeat for __ occurence(s)" or in "Repat until" as applicable and fill in the corresponding fields.
- Click on the OK button.
- Click on the OK button to close out the final dialog and complete the event creation.
Congratulations, your recurring event should be setup correctly.
