    Natively you can't do it.

     

    One work around with the native built in app is to make 5 appointments, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday and have them repeat on a weekly basis.

     

    Or if you have access to outlook or another calendar program that allows for a 'every weekday' repeat you can make the appointment there, export from that program and mail it to yourself, open that mail on your iPad and save it and the ipad calendar program should respect that repeat.

     

    or you can look for a third party calendar app that allows for the repeat and use that

    THat is what my daughter said I should do. But uit should be as simple as having adding a setting called WORK DAYS. So you would have daily, weekly, work day,  monthy and yearly.

     

    Thanks for your imput.

     

    have a good night, from beautiful Republic of Panama!

    I'd recommend the app Week Cal for its robust repeating appointment features.

     

    You can also submit feedback to Apple requesting they add additional features here:
