Activate recurrence
Activate recurrence if you want to create an alert that will be used more than once. Recurrence cannot be set on an alert template that has the Alert Approval option selected.
- Scroll down to the Schedule section in the alert or alert template.
- In the Start Time section, select Activate Recurrence.
- Select the hour, minute, and AM/PM from the pull-down menus to set the start time for the alert.
- In the Recurrence Pattern section, from the Interval drop-down list, select how often the alert recurs: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
- In the Recurrence Pattern section, select recurrence options: Everyday, Every weekday (Monday-Friday) or Every x days.
- In the Recurrence Period section, in the Start Date field, do one of the following:
- Manually enter the day, month, and year that you want the alert to begin, writing the date in MM/DD/YYYY format (for example, January 25, 2021 would be written as 01/25/2021.)
- Click
and navigate to and then click the day, month, and year that you want to use.
- In the Recurrence Period section, in the End Date field, select one of the three options:
- No end date: The alert continues to recur until you or someone else manually deletes it, adds an end date to it, or limits the number of occurrences.
- End after <X> occurrences: The alert continues to be sent out at the time interval you selected until it has been sent out the number of times you specify in this field.
- End by <date>: The alert continues to be sent out until the date you select in this field.
- Click Preview and Save.
- On the preview screen, review the template content.
