- In the Repeat drop-down menu select the basic frequency of this event (Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Anually).
- In the Every 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 "No end date".
