About this task

You can specify the recurrence interval and the recurrence start and end date. The number of copies that are created are based on these settings and appear in the Publications related list on the original publication form. Each copy has a different publish date, which is based on the interval. Each copy gets reset to the Author state and each one goes through its own workflow.

Procedure

1. Do one of the following:
   • Navigate to Targeted Communications > Active Publications, open the desired publication, and click the Setup Recurrence related link.
   • Navigate to Targeted Communications > Recurrences and click New.
2. Fill in the fields on the Recurrence form.

   Table 1. Recurrence form

   Field	Description
   Short Description	A brief description or title of the publication.

   Recurrence Start	Select a date for the first occurrence of the recurring publications.
   Recurrence End	Select a date for the last occurrence of the recurring publications.
   Recurrence Interval	Select an interval for the recurring publications: Daily Weekly Biweekly Monthly Custom

3. Click Submit.
   The recurring publications are created based on the selected dates and the recurrence interval and the stage for each copy is set to Author. The copies appear on the Publications related list on the original publication form, as well as on the Active Publications and the Draft Publications lists. From any of these lists you can open each publication and change the information as necessary. Each copy lists the publication template number in the Recurrence field.

   A record of the recurrence appears on the Recurrences list.
