Troubleshooting & FAQs
-
How do I schedule an event that happens twice per month (e.g., 1st and 3rd Thursday)?
- Workaround (Recommended): Use a "Custom" frequency that repeats on "Specific Dates" of your choosing. You can select the 1st and 3rd Thursday's for each month of the year to avoid the need for merging.
- Manual Method: Create two separate events (one for the 1st day, one for the 3rd day) using the Custom Monthly settings.
- Can I merge the two separate events I created? Yes, you can contact Tithely Support to ask agents to merge the events. This action cannot be undone, and any attendance data will be merged into one report.
- How can I sort based on a date that is not available as a filter? You can download to Excel and run a sort by date within Excel as the date the form was submitted exports to the Excel file.
- You can also use a Custom frequency that repeats on "Specific Dates" of your choosing. You can select the 1st and 3rd Thursday's for each month of the year. This is a workaround as to not have these events merged by Tithely Support.
