     9. Select More Options to view and set the All Day, Time Zone, and Recurring Reservation options:

              • In the Repeats on drop-down menu, you may select if the reservation is repeated on the day of each week. For example:
                • Reservation is repeated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week.
            • Month – The reservation occurs every set number of months.
              • In the Repeats on drop-down menu, you may select if the reservation is repeated on the date, or day of each month. For example:

          • Select when the reservation Ends:
            • • Never – The recurring reservation never ends.
                Note

                When set to Never Ends, the maximum recurring reservations will be determined by the reservations provider:

                • Appspace Provider: Maximum of 730 meeting instances, or meeting instances until the year 2100, whichever comes first.
            • After – The recurring reservation ends after the set number of occurrences.
            • On – the recurring reservation ends after the set date.
     10. The Organizer defaults to your user account. If the reservation is for someone else, select or enter their user name from the drop-down menu. If the user name is not listed, enter the user’s name in the field to search for it.
     11. Add the Attendees of the reservation by entering their usernames or email addresses in the field. For each invited attendee, you have the choice to edit and choose the attendance type (In-person, Virtual).
         
     12. You may add additional notes or information for the reservation to be seen by attendees. You can also apply basic formatting to your text.
         Important

         When one of the multiple recurring reservations is in conflict with some other independent reservation, you will be notified of the conflict, but will still be able to go ahead with this recurrent reservation. You may then separately modify the conflicting event.
     13. Optionally, you may make your reservation private by toggling the Reservation privacy slider to PRIVATE (which is PUBLIC by default).
4. Once done, click the CONFIRM button to create the building pass or to make the reservation. The reservation will then be displayed in the Reservations list.
