:If you need more specific intervals, you can choose "Or repeat each" and set your service to reoccur every 14 days, for example.  

:5. Choose the mode for the bookings. Available modes:

::'''Not allow''' - not allow recurring bookings if one of dates in between unavailable (Using the example below, if 15th is busy, the system will not allow to book 1st and 8th, only days after busy day).

::'''Add appointments''' - book on all available dates and add dates behind for unavailable in between dates (Using the example below, if 15th is busy,  the system will book 1 and 8th and 22nd + 1 day instead of busy 15th, which is  August 29th).

:6. Set the number of times your service will repeat in "Repeat count".

::''Example'': If you set up Mondays and repeat count 4, when clients book this service from booking page, they will book 4 Mondays at once.

*When a client books a service set as recurring with a certain amount of sessions, the number of bookings that are created at one go equals the number of sessions you have set for such service.
