# Repeat scheduling

Set up recurring Events to repeat at specified intervals.

**Repeating Events** is an efficient way to create the same Event details, to be shown multiple times without the need to manually duplicate information over and over. It could be useful for content that needs to shown regularly on Displays such as recurring room bookings and meeting events and reduces the need to manually keep schedules updated.

## How-to create repeats

Once an Event has been created with start and end times, an appropriate repeat (Minute, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly) can be configured from the **Repeats** tab under **Optional**.

For example selecting a **Weekly Repeat** you could select Wednesday and Friday as the days of the week to Repeat the Event, and by entering a 2, it would Repeat Every other week on those days.

**Monthly Repeats** can be configured by the Event date or by which day in the month the Event falls on. An Event which is scheduled on Thursday 19/06 can be set to Repeat every month on the 3rd Thursday for example.

Use **Until** to control when the repeated event should finish.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure the time selected here is after the final repetition of the defined Event so as to not cut the play back of content short.
{% endhint %}

**Recurring Events** can be removed from the Schedule in their entirety by right clicking the event from the calendar view or from the grid view and using the row menu to select delete.

Alternatively, remove only an instance of a recurring event from the Calendar view:

* Locate the Recurring Event by date
* Right click the event and select to remove this instance only.

All other instances will remain scheduled.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Care should be taken if amendments are made to a recurring Schedule after deleting an individual Event instance. Previously deleted Event instances could be recreated when making edits to an existing recurring Schedule!
{% endhint %}

## Schedule Reminders

Create a set of Reminders to help you keep track of your schedules. Reminders can be sent to the Notification Center of the CMS or emailed to the address as set for your User Profile.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Check to make sure that a **Sending Email address** has been set in the CMS Settings before using this feature!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/scheduling/scheduling_repeats.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
