Every Other Week

Setup: An existing Client has service Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, from 12:30pm until 3:00pm; starting next week, she would also like the same service on Sunday, but only every other week.

Procedure: Open the Service Planner for next week; right-click on the Service Summary Line, right on the middle “tick” mark; select Other; type “1230-3”. Once you have that Shift correctly entered, go into the Times for Service form; you should see a Time Pattern for next week that includes the Shift on Sunday, as well as one for the following week that does not include the Sunday Shift. Select the Time Pattern for next week, click on Add a Copy, and set the date for two weeks after next. Repeat this process with the other Time Pattern, alternating patterns as far into the future as you care to go. Remember that the last one in the list will continue the schedule into the future (in other words, you don’t need to put in an entry every week if the schedule is stable).
