  3. Click Recurring ticket+.

  4. Enter the required ticket details.

  5. Configure the recurrence settings.

  6. Click Create.

Important notes

Once saved, the recurring ticket appears in the recurring tickets list. DeskDay will then automatically generate future tickets based on the schedule you selected.

Best practices
