26.5 Scheduling Recurring Items

You can send appointments, tasks, and reminder notes as recurring items. Recurring items can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or according to custom settings that you define.

When you send a recurring item, GroupWise copies the item and places one of the defined dates in each copy of the item. For example, if you define five dates for the event, GroupWise makes five copies of the item and schedules one copy for each date. If you send the item to other users, you have five outgoing items with five occurrences. If you receive the event, you find five copies of the incoming item in your Mailbox, each scheduled for a different date.
