In this week's post I want to cover the steps needed to setup recurring appoints while providing a few examples.
What Are Recurring Appointments?
A recurring appointment is an appointment that occurs at regular intervals or more than once based on a pre-defined rule (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). This is extremely useful in automating reports.
Example Uses: Weekly / Monthly reports.
Preview: Creating a weekly recurring appointment

Where Are Recurring Appointments Setup?
You can set up the a recurring appointment by going into the Calendar section of VDM's Scheduler, selecting a date / time slot and then clicking the New Recurring Appointment button.
Steps To Setup Recurring Appointments.

1. Open VDM.
2. Click on the Scheduler or Calendar buttons.
3. Select a date / time slot on the calendar and click the New Recurring Appointment button.
4. Set the appointment Start and End times.
Note: VDM will check every minute until a successful execution is performed during the Start and End times.
5. Select your recurrence pattern (Daily, Weekly, etc.) and specify the parameters for the selected pattern.
OPTIONAL: If you want the appointment to have an end period, set up the Range of Recurrence to "End by" or "End after X occurences".
6. Once you have setup the appointment recurrence information, click OK.
