There are two fields regarding description:

  • Day/s: As mentioned above, this section defaults to day/s, however it can be changed to week/s, month/s, and year/s.
    
  • Ends: this input field splits even further.
    • Never: if this option is chosen then the event will continuously repeat on the previously set interval indefinitely.
    • On: this option is chosen then a new field will appear (Ends On) and prompt you to choose a specific end date. The event will no longer recur after the selected end date. Similarly to the "date" field, you will be required to select both a date and time.
