Repeating Events

Calendar Events can be made to repeat one or more times, to form a series of events. Each event in the series:

  • has the same details as the first event
  • can be edited independently of the series

Repeat Options

Calendar Events can be made to repeat:

  • Daily
    • Every day
    • On weekdays
    • Every N days
    • Every Sunday...Saturday
  • Weekly
    • Every Week
    • Every N weeks
  • Monthly
    • Every month
    • Every N months
    • On the first..fifth or last Sunday...Saturday every N months
    • On the 1..31 or last day(s) every N months 
  • Yearly
    • Every year
    • Every N years
    • On the 1..31 January...December every N years
    • On the first..fifth or last Sunday...Saturday of January...December every N years

Calendar Events repeat until a specified date, or number of times. When using 'until date', the relative date facility can be used to calculate the date - e.g. 0ye will set the end of the current year, and 6me will set the end of the 6th month ahead.

Restrictions

  • at most only 729 recurring events can be scheduled (i.e. for a total of 730 in a series)
  • if an event is set to repeat on a day that is not available, it is skipped. E.g specifying a monthly repeat on the 31st of the month will skip all months without 31 days.
