Recurring events

When you create or edit an event, you can make it repeat during a particular period. By default, repeating events are a linked series; changes to the event apply to all events in the series. To edit the details of a single event within that series – for example, to change the guest speaker name or topic at a monthly seminar – unlink the series first. When you unlink events from a series, it's not possible to re-link them.

Add a recurring event

  1. Go to your calendar page.
  2. Create a new event (or edit an existing event).
  3. To set this event to recur from the Start date onwards, choose an option from the Repeats menu: daily, every weekday (Monday to Friday), weekly, monthly or annually. Set the Until date to specify when the recurring event stops. For example:

    Set event to repeat

  4. Select Create event (or Save changes if you're editing an existing event).

Edit recurring events separately

  1. Go to your calendar page.
  2. Click the summary of a recurring event you wish to edit. In the pop-up window, select the unlink button. If your calendar has Day view or Agenda view, select Unlink item beneath the event.

  3. The Unlink events warning appears. Once you unlink repeating events, you cannot re-link them; they are treated as separate events. To go ahead, select Unlink.
  4. You can now edit the event details.

Delete one occurrence of a recurring event

  1. Select the summary of the recurring event you wish to delete. In the pop-up window, select the delete button. If your calendar has Day view or Agenda view, select Delete item beneath the event.

  2. The Delete event pop-up window appears. Select one of the following options:

    • Delete this occurrence – this unlinks all events in the series
    • Delete the series
  3. To confirm your choice, select Delete.
