Now that you have your pay days appearing on your calendar, you decide you would also like to see the days your car payment is due - which is the 15th of the month. There is no need to create a temporal expression for that - the OFBiz temporal expression demo data includes every day of the month.

In the Create Work Effort screen, type "Car Payment" in the Name field. Select Event for the Type, select Confirmed for the Status, select General for the Scope, and use the Calendar icon to set Estimated Start Date to January 1, 2010. Scroll down the screen to find the Temporal Expression field. Select DAYOFMONTH_15. Click Save. The Car Payment calendar event has been created. To view it, click the Calendar tab, then select Month View. You will see the the car payment due date appear every 15th of the month.

Create A Complicated Recurring Event

You like to play soccer. You like to play soccer *so much* you practice four days a week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The Monday through Wednesday practices are at 6 PM, and the Saturday practice is at 10 AM. On the last Saturday of the month a lacrosse team uses the field you practice on, so your teammates agreed to reschedule that practice to 1 PM Sunday. \[Having a soccer team surrender a field to a lacrosse team is a supreme act of charity - one that your team is immensely proud of.\] There is one other exception to the schedule your teammates agreed on: If a practice falls on Saint Patrick's Day, the practice is canceled (since it is very unlikely anyone would show up).

Now, you have no problem remembering your soccer practice schedule. The problem is, no one else can remember it - so you decide to add it to your calendar.
