If your event
recurs then select the appropriate time interval Daily, Weekly,
Monthly, Yearly, select the necessary options within each time
interval, and select whether the event stops at a particular date
using the Repeat Until option or should the event recur forever
select the Repeat Forever option.
Examples for each time interval
Daily

a week long. July 8th 2013 through July 12th
2013. The way this would be scheduled would be to include July 8th
2013 for the original date. The select Daily as the time interval.
Since the event is going to happen every day that week you'll leave
the default value of 1 in the Every _ Day field. Select the Repeat
Until option, click the date field, and then select July 12th
2013.
