As the name implies, Repeating Appointments are appointments that take place on a reoccurring basis. As you are adding any one time appointment, you can setup a frequency for it to repeat if it is a client you are meeting with for a recurring appointment.

To set up a repeating appointment, you will start by adding a new appointment using the "Add New Appointment" button or by clicking on the calendar on the day you want the repeating appointments to start. This will bring you to the Add New Appointment screen where you will add in the base information (location, staff, service, client, time, reminders) for the repeating appointment in the same manner that you add in the information for a One Time Appointment.

Once you have the location, staff, service, client, date of the first appointment, and appointment time filled in, press the "Setup Frequency" button to enter in the pattern for how the appointment should repeat:

 

In the Setup Repeating Appointments window, first select the basis you'd like for the appointment to repeat on: Weekly, Monthly, or Annually.

 

Once you've selected the time frame you want the appointment to repeat over, select how often you want it to repeat. If you selected you wanted it to repeat on a weekly basis, for instance, you could select that you wanted it to repeat every 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc.:

 

The next step is to determine what day of the week you want it to repeat on. It can be on just one day of the week (like just Wednesday) or on multiple days of the week (like on both Wednesday and Friday):

 

Finally, choose the start and end date for the recurring appointment. The start date is pre-filled with the date of the appointment you have selected to set up frequency from, although you can edit it. The End date can either be Never (meaning it will continue indefinitely) or you can make it a specific end date:

 

After filling in the fields, you are ready to add the repeating instances. You'll see on the Add New Appointment screen that a brief summary of the repeating appointments you've added will appear above a button to edit the frequency you just added:

 

If you are satisfied with the repeating appointment based on the summary display, you can press "Save Recurring Appointments" at the bottom of the screen:

You'll be prompted to send out an email about the new appointments which will send a client a single email with a compiled list of all the appointments. You can also enter in a note which will be plugged into the email that's being sent out to the client:

 

Once you've entered in these elements and saved the appointment, you will be directed back to your Open Appointments Lists where your date range view will be customized based on the recurring appointment series you just added. You can make changes to the recurring appointment series by clicking into any of the appointments in the series. There's more on editing recurring appointments available here.
