Calendar Server 6.0 uses a new model for recurring events. Changes to Calendar Express are as follows:
Event Creation
For “Weekly”, “Monthly”, and “Yearly” events, if the “Repeat Pattern” does not match the “Start” date, Calendar Server creates the first occurrence of the event using the “Repeat Pattern”.
For example, if you specify the “Repeat Pattern” as “Weekly” and the “Repeat On” is set to Wednesday, but the “Start” date shows a Monday date, Calendar Server creates the first occurrence of the event on Wednesday and not on Monday.
Date Changes for Recurring Events
When a date is changed for an individual instance of a recurring event, the new date cannot occur on the same day as an existing occurrence of the same event, or skip over or beyond a later occurrence of the same event. Otherwise, Calendar Express displays an error message.
Repeat Pattern for Daily Events
The new “Repeat Pattern” for “Daily” events window includes buttons for “Every day”, “Every weekday” and “Every n days”.
This window no longer includes the pull-down menu for “Every weekday”, “Monday, Wednesday and Friday”, “Tuesday and Thursday”, and “Saturday and Sunday”. Recurring events that were created with these options and are already in the calendar database are now shown under “Repeat Pattern” for “Weekly”.
Repeat Pattern for Weekly Events
At least one day of the week must be selected. Otherwise, Calendar Express displays an error stating that the recurrence pattern is not valid. (By default, the current day of week will be checked.)
Repeat Pattern for Yearly Events
On the Recurrence window, the “Every n years” option is replaced by “every year”.
