You can chose from Daily, Weekly and Monthly. For Weekly you can select the day of week and for Monthly you can select the date of month you want the export to happen. Then select the Duration of the export. Please check the Summary section to make sure you have the correct configuration. Click Create Recurrent Export button when you are done. You will get your Excel file emailed to your account periodically.

FYI, currently we support only past duration, that is if you have a Weekly recurrent export scheduled for every Monday with 1 week duration, the export will contain entries from last week before the Monday.
