The date field at the top of the screen lets you enter the start and

Repeating Events
To make an event a repeating event (or to edit the repeats), edit
the event, and go to the
tab.
Repeat Type
The first thing to select is the type of repeat you want:
- Not Repeating - This option means that the event is a one off
and does not repeat.
- H/M/S - This repeats every N hours/minutes/seconds.
- Days - This repeats every N days.
- Weeks - This repeats every N weeks on a set day (or days) of
the week.
- Months - This repeats every N months on a set day (or days) of
the month.
- Years - This repeats every N years on a set date (or dates) of
the year.
- Expression - (Advanced use only) Uses a date expression to set
the repeats (see below).
- Set Dates - You can set the repeat to happen on a specific set
of dates (which you choose).
- Choice - The transaction is set to be a long way in the
future, but you can change its date to be a specific date once
you know when it happens.
Depending on the option you choose, different fields will be
visible on the repeat tab.
At (Time of Day)
Pressing
next to the At field, lets
you select the time of day for the event repeat. Enter the
time in the HH:MM:SS field and press
. The time will appear in the
list. You can add multiple times of the day if you wish. Un-tick
the time in the list to remove that time.
End
This screen lets you set the time when the event ends.
- After the start time - This lets you set the end time to be a
certain number of Days/Hours/Minutes/Seconds after the start
time.
- After the start time - This lets you set it to be a specific
time of the day N days after the start.
- Advanced (expression) - You can enter the expression here from
the Test Page (see below).
On (Which Days)
Pressing
next to the On field, lets
you select day on which the event repeats.
- If it repeats every N weeks, then you can pick the weekdays.
- If it repeats every N months, then you can pick the day of the
month.
- If it repeats every N years, then you can pick the date of the
year. You can also choose a week number and day of the week.
- If it repeats on set dates, you can select the dates to repeat
on.
Start and End
Pressing
next to the Start Repeating
field lets you start repeating from a specific date.
Pressing
next to the Repeat Until
field lets you stop repeating after a specific date.
Excluding Days
Pressing
next to the Exclude
Repeating lets you exclude either:
- A single date from the repeat sequence.
- A range of dates from the repeat sequence.
Test Page
Pressing
next to the Repeat choice
shows a page listing all of the predicted repeat times (based on
other other fields in the repeat tab).
It also shows the repeat as an expression (which you can use for
expression repeats).
Expressions
You can copy the expression from the Test Page into the Repeat
Due field and modify it as required. NOTE: This is only for
advanced use.
Create Sequence
This button allows you to turn a repeating event into a set of
actual (non-repeating events) for a time into the future. This
button is only enabled once you set a date for the repeats to end
(i.e. Repeat Until needs to be set). Once you press this, the repeat
is turned off, and individual events are created up to the Repeat
Until date.
