Setting up a recurring break is similar to setting up a recurring appointment.

  • After selecting the Break button, enter a Reason and Duration (in minutes).
  • Click the Recurring Appointment checkbox.
  • Select the days for the break.
  • You can select how often, in weeks, the break occurs.
  • Select a start date.
  • Select the last date for the break (for example, with vacation). If the break never ends, check the Never Ends box.
  • Select Save or Save & Close.
