Overview

VueMinder Calendar supports a powerful variety of recurrence patterns and ranges. If your event periodically repeats, chances are you'll be able to specify its recurrence using the controls described below. You can specify event recurrence on the "Recurrence" tab of the Event Editor window, when "Recurring Event..." is checked.

Daily

• If your event occurs every day, every weekday, or every other number of days, use the Daily recurrence pattern.
• Example: The event occurs every 3 days.

Weekly

• If your event occurs the same day or days of every week (or every other number of weeks), use the Weekly recurrence pattern.
• Example: The event occurs every other week on Monday and Saturday.

Monthly

• If your event occurs the same day of the month (or every other number of months), use the Monthly recurrence pattern.
• Example: The event occurs on the fourth Saturday of every month.

Yearly

• If your event occurs the same day every year, use the Yearly recurrence pattern.
• Example: The event occurs on the fourth Saturday of October.

Recurrence Range

• A recurrence range can be specified.
• The event can have no end date, end after a certain number of occurrences, or end after a specific date.

Recurrence Pattern and Event Durations

VueMinder Calendar does not support defining a recurring event with a duration large enough to cause occurrences of the event series to overlap. For example, if you define an event with a duration of 2 weeks, but set the recurring pattern to happen every week, this would cause occurrences to overlap. If the Event Editor detects this condition when the OK button is clicked, a message will be displayed. To correct this, reduce the event duration, or change the recurrence pattern so occurrences won't overlap.
