Explanation of Recurring Profiles

Explanation of Recurring Profiles

I've searched without success trying to find a more detailed explanation of how the "Recurring Profile" feature of Zoho Invoice is supposed to work. I assumed that once I set up a Recurring Profile (RP) that an invoice would automatically be generated and emailed on the Next Invoice Date. I set up a test RP and it did not email an invoice as I thought it would.

Would someone explain or point me to a better explanation that what is in the online manual?

In addition, I have a couple of questions about RP:

    1. If the customer has more than on contact listed, to whom will the invoice email be sent?

    2. Does the profile item description text stay the same from one invoice to the next?

    3. Is there a way to put any sort of variable in the item description text so that it can change from month to month? e.g. "Pool Service for the month of %DueDate%"?
