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

- Daily
- Every day
- On weekdays
- Every N days

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.
