A Periodic event is one that repeats weekly, monthly, or yearly according to a particular pattern. For example, you may need to prepare a status report on the 1st day of each month, or go to a class every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a few weeks. These are periodic events.
Periodic events require a start date, end date, and repeat definition. The start and end dates identify the interval in which the periodic event occurs. The event does not necessarily fall on the start date or the end date. The event can be timed (having a start time with or without an end time) or untimed.
In Day or Event Maintenance views you can add a new event or edit an existing one (see "Add, Edit, And Delete Calendar Events").
