Configuration - Period

SharePoint Planner will work out the period to display depending on the data in the list. e.g. if your list has events covering a September, month will be displayed.

If you have recurring events set with no end date, the Auto option will ignore any 'no end date' recurring events that occur outside the time range of other events when determining the auto period.
