If you have programs that repeat on a set schedule (e.g., Bingo every Thursday at 2pm), using the "Recurrence" field when scheduling these programs will be a huge time saver!   ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/39765f05-d581-4de9-a12c-ebdd566e5cfd/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-02%20at%2010.39.42%20AM.png)   When you click into the "Recurrence" field, you'll see a number of basic recurrence options: - - Every Day (this program happens every day at X time) - Every Week (this program happens every week on X day at X time) - Every Month (this program happens every month on X day and X time) - Every Year (this program happens every year on X day and X time) ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/9dfe5496-d32b-4373-b2e6-d5d0a0b48f97/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-02%20at%2010.40.04%20AM.png)   If your program's recurrence schedule is more complex than the options described above (e.g., perhaps you run Chair Yoga every Tuesday *and* Thursday at 2pm, or every *third* Wednesday at 4pm), you can select "Custom" and you will have more options for each recurrence type (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly). In this custom recurrences section, you can get very specific with when your program is happening: - - - **Custom Frequency: "Daily"** - This option allows you to schedule programs to happen every other day (i.e., every 2 days, every 3rd day, etc.)![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/baf1ae16-c24c-4d24-8d2f-da053ca14be4/image.png) - - - **Custom Frequency: "Weekly"** - This option allows you to schedule programs that happen more than once a week by selecting the days of the week as appropriate. For example, the screenshot below shows how to set up a program that runs weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/d5e5f076-2435-4922-85e5-1fc4227dcf04/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-02%20at%2010.25.36%20AM.png) - - - - The custom "Weekly" option can also be used to schedule programs that happen every 2nd week (or every 3rd week, 4th week, etc.) For example, the screenshot below shows how to set up a program that happens every 2nd Wednesday.   - - - **Custom Frequency: "Monthly"** - This option allows you to schedule programs that happen on specific dates within a month. For example, the screenshot below shows how to set up a program that happens on the 1st and 15th of each month. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/f676345a-b775-4a00-a079-681baf517b5e/image.png) - You can also use this custom recurrence option to schedule a program that happens during a certain week of the month. For example, the screenshot below shows how to set up a program that happens on the last Monday of every month. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/0fd251b2-761b-4ebe-8c1a-89a190730828/image.png) - In both cases above, you can also specify whether the program follows this recurrence *every* month, or if it happens every 2nd month (or 3rd or 4th month, etc.) For example, the screenshot below shows how to set up a program that happens every 2nd month on the 15th. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/9a22b5d9-3fb6-4508-a513-be5ef7cb1606/image.png) - **Custom Frequency: "Yearly"** - This option allows you to schedule programs for events such as Mother's Day, which occurs on the second Sunday of May each year. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/8d81dc01-d14c-4025-a23a-5d8bc2b841c2/image.png) - - - - You can also use this custom recurrence option to schedule programs that happen every 2 years, for example. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/9590eb37-a761-4efa-8040-e4e28890e3cb/image.png)   For any of the custom recurrence types listed above, you can also set an end date. If you select an end date, the program will repeat in your calendar according to your chosen recurrence up until the end date you selected. For example, the screenshot below shows how to schedule a program that happens every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday up until the end of August. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/5c40d103-a623-42db-a99a-3d479d6d9164/image.png) -
