  Schedule repeating appointment (with recurrence)

Do you have to schedule some appointments which repeat every day, every week or every month? AntsRoute has a feature that makes it easy to manage the recurrence of your appointments. Just follow the steps below:

Add a repeating appointment

Go to the “Make an appointment” tab of the “Schedule” module.
2
Enter the name of an existing customer in the search bar (or add a new client
).
3
Click on the blue “Add appointment” button from the customer card.

4
Fill in the “Order details” in the appointment scheduling form.
5
Activate the “Recurrence” toggle.

6
Determine a recurrence period by choosing a “since” date and “end” date.

7
Choose a frequency among the following options:
  • Daily: You must determine the number of days between each recurrence. For example, to add an appointment that must take place every three days, enter 3 in the “every” field.

  • Weekly: You must determine the number of weeks between each recurrence. For example, to add an appointments that occurs every three weeks, enter 3 in the “every” field. Then select the days of the week on which this appointment must take place. For example, select “Tu” and “We” to have this repeating appointment occurring every 3 weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Then determine the day of the month on which this appointment must take place by selecting a day from the drop-down list. You can also define a custom recurrence template. For example, if you want that this appointment takes place on the first Tuesday of the month, you must select “The” and choose the desired option from the drop-down lists.
