This article will show you how to make a recurring Calendar Event.

Important Note

• Calendar events with a 12:00 AM start time or 11:59 PM end time will not show a time on the Calendar's front end. If you do not enter an end time, the system defaults to 11:59 PM, but this does not appear on the back end to avoid confusion that the event will show that time.
• Your events will tie together, similar to Outlook. You will see a recurring icon next to the Event Name on the back end if it is part of a series.
