Setting up recurring tickets

Each recurrence starts by creating a new ticket, and setting the configuration options on the Recurrence tab.

  6. Click the Next button to start editing the ticket contents.
  7. Add an 'email address' to the To field for any staff member who should get an email when this ticket is created.
