This article walks you through the process of how to schedule or edit a recurring session schedule.

 

When you have a recurring session, this means that when the current session expires (the evening when the date passes), a new session will automatically be created according to the recurring sessions schedule, and new invites sent out.

Create a recurring session

1. Click "Manage" and select "Add Recurring Sessions". 

Manage -> Add Recurring Sessions

 

2. This will expand an area at the top of the session panel. 

Example of recurring session panel

  • Start Date: The default start date will be the date of the current session. This can be edited if you would like recurring schedule to use a different start date instead. 
  • Repeat every X [Day/Week/Month]: The default recurrence schedule will be weekly ("1 Week"), but you can edit this to select a different number, or use the unit "Day" or "Month". 
  • Repeat On: If "Week" is selected, then you can also select the specific days of the week. If "Month" is selected, you can specify which day of the month the recurring session should take place. (If "Day" is selected, then there is no "Repeat On" section.)
  • End
    • Never: Have the meetings continue to recur with no set end date. 
    • On: No meetings after this date will be created on this recurrence schedule.
    • After X sessions: Have the meeting recurrence schedule end after X sessions have been created through it. (This number INCLUDES the current session.)

 

3. After you have made your edits, click on the "Save" button to save your changes. (If you exit without saving, changes will be discarded.)
