Summary

Create a recurring appointment that automatically schedules every six months.

Key Points

  • Click the Create a new... button and select Work Order

  • On the Schedule tab, select the frequency Semi-annual

  • Select the week of the month and day of the week you'll do the service

  • The week of the month and day of the week must match First Service Date

  • Ends After is Never, Fixed number or Date

  • Enter the Duration and Start Time

From the customer's location page, click the Create a new... button and select Work Order

On the Billing tab add the service description, adjust the price, if necessary, etc.

On the Schedule tab, select the tech.

Select the frequency Semi-annual.
Select the week of the service, in this example the service will be the third week.
Select the day of the week, in this example the service will be on Monday.
The Select Day(s) must match First Service Date. Otherwise, you'll have two appointments the first month. In this example, October 21, 2019, is the third Monday.

Enter the Duration and Start Time

Click the Save button and you have a series created in that customer's Work Orders tab. This example shows a semi-annual series starting on the third Monday every half year. 

The system generates approximately a year's worth of appointments. As the newest appointments are completed the system appends the end of the list with additional appointments so you never have to remember to create more services.
