Recurring reservations can be entered by both administrators and customers but only if the shopping cart feature is enabled. You can enable both the shopping cart and the recurring reservations is Site settings / Edit. Once enabled, the customer, when making a reservation sees a dropdown just below the original date chosen called Repeat this rental ... more times weekly/daily. When the reservation is submitted, the desired dates are added to the shopping cart (e.g. 10 subsequent Tuesdays starting on ... or 5 subsequent days starting on ...). The customer then checks out to finalize the reservation.

If you don't want to use the shopping cart feature, you can allow for recurring reservations which can ONLY be entered by the administrators. In this option recurring reservations are entered in form of recurring vacations (vacations can be found at the bottom of resource settings). In the comments field you can write which customer the given resource vacation (reservation in this case) is for. A vacation will work well because it will not allow other clients to reserve the same resource and can be set up as recurring periods (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly). At the same time the admins can see in the schedule tab what which client uses the resource.

Please note that you can also enter recurring reservations for a limited time period only, e.g. all fridays in January and February 2011. To do this, click limit this vacation to a specific period when adding the vacation.
