Reoccuring Events

Technically this isn't a developent question but it may turn into one if the setup doesn't support this... Can I setup reoccuring events to match business hours (skip Sundays)? I have a customer that has events that occur every other day except they are closed on Sundays so I need to skip that day.

Ok, so when you select weekly select the days you want for the specific event, you can select Monday, Wednesday and Friday next to weekly, so this happens only on those days.

Yes you can go to activity settings and turn on Enable Creation of Recurring Events, so when you create a new event click in create follow up event and on the bottom select  Recurring Events then select frequency to weekly and skip sunday, eventually you can select the time.

I understand I can setup reoccuring but I don't see how you skip Sunday when doing an every other daily event. Where do see the ability to skip a day?

When you select weekly select all days except sunday

right but it's not a weekly reoccurance... its daily. To make weekly work I'd have to create six reoccuring event entries. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Make sense?

on which days you want the event to be occured?

There are two recurring events... One is every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 10 weeks. The other is every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for 10 weeks.

this is where i apologize for not paying atttention. You're right and I wasn't thinking. I got too set on doing it daily and didn't see the forest for the trees. Thank you!
