Once you have added an appointment, OfficeTalk lets you repeat the appointment at regular intervals. For example, you may wish to book a team meeting at 10am on the first Tuesday of each month, or you may wish to create an appointment to attend a project review every week on a Friday for six weeks.
To repeat an appointment, do the following:
The appointment must first exist. Click the right mouse button on the appointment from either the Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Custom Appointment window and select Repeat from the context menu. The Repeat Wizard is displayed showing the Repeat Frequency page.
The Repeat Frequency page lets you choose whether to repeat the appointment every n days, every n weeks, every n months or every n years. Select the relevant radio button and enter a value into the corresponding field. Press Next.
If you selected Every n months, the next page lets you choose further options about how the appointment is repeated on each month. You may choose whether the repeated date should be on the nth day of the month (e.g. 6th of the month), on the nth weekday of the month (e.g. the 1st Monday) or the last day of the month. The table below summarises the possible options:
| Field | Description |
| nth of the month | If the original appointment occurs on, for example the 15th of a particular month then selecting this radio button will book all repeated appointments on the 15th of every month, except in the case of non working days, where you have elected to skip non working days (see Non Working Days page below). |
| Nth weekday of the month | If the original appointment occurs on, for example the 2nd Thursday of a particular month then selecting this radio button will book all repeated appointments on the 2nd Thursday of every month. |
| Last Day | If the original appointment occurs on the last day of a particular month then this radio button will become enabled. Selecting this radio button will repeat the appointment on the last day of every month, except in the case of non working days, where you have elected to skip non working days (see Non Working Days page below). |
The next page lets you choose how to handle the possibility of repeated appointments occurring on non-working days. In such a case, you may choose whether to skip creating the appointment, to accept the appointment as is, to place the appointment on the previous working day or to place the appointment on the next working day.
The next page lets you choose either the date up to which the appointment should be repeated, or the number of times to repeat the appointment. Make your selection and press Finish. OfficeTalk will repeat the appointment accordingly.
Note: OfficeTalk will always try and repeat the appointment at the same time as the original appointment.
