How do I create a recurring event listing?
Please Note: Recurring program listings are only for Presentations & Support Groups, and NAMI Classes require a Start Date and End Date. Additionally, as of August 2024, features to edit the schedule of a recurring event series and conclude a recurring event series have been temporarily disabled to repair a system error, more information can be found here.
NAMI 720 allows you to create recurring event listings (for example, a Family Support Group that meets every Wednesday Evening). To create a recurring event listing, please follow the initial steps describing How to create an event listing. From there, in the section entitled Date and Time: When are you offering the event?, you will:
- Input the date and time for your initial event
- Select the box indicating you’re creating a recurring event
- Input the details of your event listing recurrence:
- For weekly events:
- select the frequency and "weeks" in the dropdown next to "Repeats Every"
- indicate which day(s) of the week the event occurs and when you would like this recurrence to end (this can be a specific date, year, or never)
- For monthly events:
- select "month(s)" in the dropdown next to "Repeats Every"
- the frequency will be based on the date of the initial event (in this example, this event is the first Thursday on the 6th of the month) you will indicate if the event occurs on the same date each month (6th of every month) or you can chose to have it repeat on the same day each month (the first Thursday)
- select when you would like this recurrence to end (again, this can be a specific date, year, or never)
- For event listings with a more complex recurring schedule:
- select "month(s)" in the dropdown next to "Repeats Every"
- choose "Custom" in the dropdown next to "On day(s)"
- here you will indicate which day(s) of the week the event occurs, and the frequency, indicating a custom recurring schedule (for example an event that meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month)
4. To complete your event listing, you will follow the remaining steps (3-8) found in How to create an event listing.
