Make Recurring

Note: You can only Make Recurring on an event that is not already recurring. You may copy the event, or Remove Recurrence for a specific event if you want to make it recur according to a different pattern.

Make Recurring Overview

Often times events will occur on a regular basis based upon some consistent time schedule (e.g. regular events, meetings, etc...). To make the creation and management of these regular occurring events easier to manage, you can use the Make Recurring feature within the Calendar component.

Using this feature you can take an event, and recur it according to a specific pattern. This will copy all the details and settings from your source event, and create individually linked events with difference start/end dates in the calendar. These can all be edited separately as required.

How to Make an Event Recurring

Under Site Content in the primary CMS menu, select the Calendar link in the dropdown menu. Hover over a row and click an event; then select the Make Recurring action from the dropdown.
