Defining recurrences

You can use recurrence for two purposes:

  • As building blocks to create calendar exceptions, which you use to define calendars. For more information, refer to Defining a calendar.
  • To define employees'assignments in the Assignments (bpmdm0130m000) session in People.

Procedure

To define a calendar exceptions, complete the following steps:

  1. Start the Recurrences (tcccp0143m000) session.

  2. Insert a new recurrence.

    In the Recurrence Type field, select the base period on which the recurrence frequency is defined. This field can be Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, or Daily.

    In the Recurrence Start Date and Recurrence End Date fields, define the range of dates in which the recurrence is valid. For information on how to extend the validity of a recurrence, refer to Rolling recurrence.

  3. To open the Recurrence Details (tcccp0143s000) session, double-click the recurrence.
  4. Enter the recurrence details. For more information, refer to the online Help for the session.

  • Yearly

    If the Recurrence Type field is Yearly, the recurrence repeats itself after one or more years.

    You can select dates with the following methods:

    • Specify the set of months and the date of the month. For example, the 5th of the month of November, December, January, and February.
    • Specify the set of months and the day of the week, such as Friday, and specify whether the first, second, third, fourth, or last of the month is selected. For example, the last Wednesday of February and August.

  • Monthly

    If the Recurrence Type field is Monthly, the recurrence repeats itself after one or more months.

    You can select dates with the following methods:

    • Specify the day of the week, such as Friday, and specify whether the first, second, third, fourth, or last of the month is selected. For example, the last Wednesday of the month.
    • Specify the set of dates of the month. For example, the 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month.
