Before you start
- Learn how to open the window for a new session: Add a session.
Create a session that repeats
- Start adding a session, from the calendar or from the course page. Choose the course, the day of the first session and the time.
- Click Does not repeat. The Custom recurrence rule window opens (the repeat rule).
The Does not repeat button, in the session window
- In Every, choose how often it repeats: a number and week, day, month or year. For example, “2 weeks” means every other week.
- If it repeats by weeks, tick the days of the week in the On row, below Every. If it repeats by months, choose the day of the month.
- In Ends, choose when the series ends: tick On and choose a date, or tick After and type a number of times.
- Click Save. Instead of Does not repeat, the button now shows your rule.
Window to choose how the session repeats
- Click Add session. Done! Every session in the series shows up in your calendar.
When the series ends
- With On, the last session is before the date you choose. If you want a session on that day, choose the day after.
- With After, the series has that number of sessions, up to 52.
- A series has at most 52 sessions. If your rule gives more, SmartCookie only creates the first 52.
What you can’t do
- You can’t create a series with no end. Always choose a date or a number of times.
- You can’t make a one-off session repeat by editing it. Create a new session that repeats and delete the one-off.
- You can’t repeat an event (something in your calendar with no students, like the dentist). Only sessions can repeat.
