Right-click and select New recurring class - the Edit class wizard will appear:
- The Class starts and finished on the same day box is ticked by default. Only untick it if you want to record a class that spans more than one day.
- The Start and Finish times will be automatically filled in with the times you selected in the calendar view.
- If required, enter an identifying code for the class.

- Click OK to return to the previous wizard.
- If you do not wish to create any recurring classes, press Remove Recurrence to close this window.
The next part of the wizard will allow you to configure Class Breaks:
Add breaks to your class(es) by using the [+] Add button in the top right. Set a start and end time for your break. This Break time in your class will be deducted from the classes duration minutes if the Ded box on the right hand side is ticked.
