When a project is added to the schedule, a creation wizard will open. See how to configure the Recurrence wizard step:
Recurrence pattern
Define how the occurrence frequency will happen.
Weekly
The recurring project will occur every certain number of weeks and on specific days.
In the Every ___ week(s) on field, enter the desired number of weeks and check the days of the week that correspond to the days on which the project will occur. For example: every 1 week on Monday and Wednesday.

- On the __ every __ month(s): select this option in order for the recurring project to occur on a certain day, after a certain number of months. For example: on the 15 every 2 months.
