# Repeating Events

To make an event a repeating event (or to edit the repeats), edit the event, and go to the tab.

### Repeat Type

The first thing to select is the type of repeat you want:

- Not Repeating - This option means that the event is a one off and does not repeat.
- H/M/S - This repeats every N hours/minutes/seconds.
- Days - This repeats every N days.
- Weeks - This repeats every N weeks on a set day (or days) of the week.
- Months - This repeats every N months on a set day (or days) of the month.
- Years - This repeats every N years on a set date (or dates) of the year.
- Expression - (Advanced use only) Uses a date expression to set the repeats (see below).
- Set Dates - You can set the repeat to happen on a specific set of dates (which you choose).
- Choice - The transaction is set to be a long way in the future, but you can change its date to be a specific date once you know when it happens.

Depending on the option you choose, different fields will be visible on the repeat tab.

### At (Time of Day)

Pressing next to the At field, lets you select the time of day for the event repeat. Enter the time in the HH:MM:SS field and press . The time will appear in the list. You can add multiple times of the day if you wish. Un-tick the time in the list to remove that time.

### End

This screen lets you set the time when the event ends.

- After the start time - This lets you set the end time to be a certain number of Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds after the start time.
- After the start time - This lets you set it to be a specific time of the day N days after the start.
- Advanced (expression) - You can enter the expression here from the Test Page (see below).

### On (Which Days)

Pressing next to the On field, lets you select day on which the event repeats.

- If it repeats every N weeks, then you can pick the weekdays.
- If it repeats every N months, then you can pick the day of the month.
- If it repeats every N years, then you can pick the date of the year. You can also choose a week number and day of the week.
- If it repeats on set dates, you can select the dates to repeat on.

### Start and End

Pressing next to the Start Repeating field lets you start repeating from a specific date.

Pressing next to the Repeat Until field lets you stop repeating after a specific date.

### Excluding Days

Pressing next to the Exclude Repeating lets you exclude either:

- A single date from the repeat sequence.
- A range of dates from the repeat sequence.

### Test Page

Pressing next to the Repeat choice shows a page listing all of the predicted repeat times (based on other other fields in the repeat tab).
It also shows the repeat as an expression (which you can use for expression repeats).

### Expressions

You can copy the expression from the Test Page into the Repeat Due field and modify it as required. NOTE: This is only for advanced use.

### Create Sequence

This button allows you to turn a repeating event into a set of actual (non-repeating events) for a time into the future. This button is only enabled once you set a date for the repeats to end (i.e. Repeat Until needs to be set). Once you press this, the repeat is turned off, and individual events are created up to the Repeat Until date.
