A repeating event is an event that you will do more than once and is done on a regular (although not necessarily frequent) basis.

By setting up a repeating event you can save time by not having to enter every event manually.

To add a repeating event you will start by placing your mouse on ‘Add New’, it is located in the grey banner towards the top of the page.

Then click ‘Event’ from the menu list that drops down.

Now you will need to tell Malinko the client in which the event is for; type the client name in the search box provided.

Then click the ‘Search Malinko’ button situated on the right.

Malinko will display the results for you and to begin adding the event just click the ‘+ New Event’ button next to the relevant client.

Next you will have options to select for this event.

Here are some descriptions to help you.

1. “When” Section – When will the event happen.
   1. Date of Event – When will you do the event
   2. Start Time – Time of which your event begins.
   3. End Date – The ending date of the event.
