     drop-down list, select how often the alert recurs: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.

     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.

      : 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.
