Scheduling Recurring Events

The recurrence scheduling options allow you to create a series of events. Events can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly or annually. 

Keep in mind that when editing the original event of a series and the start/end dates/times or recurrence rule are modified, then all series events are recreated with new id's. 

1. Scheduling (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)

  • Checkbox options: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly
  • Select only one.

2. Until (Date)

  • Defines what date the recurrence should end.

3. Interval (Text Box)

  • Determines how often the event repeats based on the scheduing interval you chose. 
  • Examples:
    • If you chose Weekly and set the interval to 2, the event will be scheduled every 2 weeks
    • If you chose Monthly and set the interval to 3, the event will be scheduled every 3 months 
    • If you chose Yearly and set the interval to 1, the event will be scheduled every year 

4. Repeat Count (Text Box)

  • Specifies how many time the event will happen
  • If you put 10 in this box, the event will be scheduled 10 times. 
    • If both COUNT and UNTIL are set, UNTIL takes precedence.

5. If you selected Monthly, you will see: By Day/By Week checkbox, Week Dropdown (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, last), and Days Dropdown 

  • This is used when selecting monthly frequency.  
  • First select if you want the event to happen on a specific date (By Day checkbox) or on a specific day of the week (By Week checkbox)
  • Example mappings:
    • By Day & Days set to 15 = event will be scheduled the 15th day of the month
    • By Day & Days set to 15 and 30 = event will be scheduled the 15th and 30th of the month
    • By Week, Week set to 3, Day set to Thursday = event will be scheduled the 3rd Thursday of the month
    • By Week, Week set to 1 and last, Days set to Monday and Wednesday = event will be scheduled the first and last week of the month on both Monday and Wednesday
    • If you set the interval to 3 in step #2 and you select By Day & Days set to 15 = the event will be scheduled on the 15th day of the month every three months. 

6. If you selected Weekly, you will see only a Days Dropdown

  • Example:
    • If Days = Wednesday, the event is scheduled weekly on Wednesdays.
    • If you set the interval to 2 in step #3 and you select Days = Friday, the event will be scheduled every 2 weeks on Fridays.
