VM:Webserver for OfficeVision Release 1.0 Help System

Schedule a Recurring Event
Table of ContentsIndex


You can schedule an event or note to occur repeatedly at regular intervals over a specified period of time. You can schedule daily recurring events or notes for up to 13 weeks or the last holiday specified in your OfficeVision configuration, whichever comes first. You can schedule weekly, biweekly (every other week), and monthly recurring events or notes for up to a year or the last holiday specified in your OfficeVision configuration, whichever comes first.

You can also remove recurring events or note s from schedules.

The help that follows applies to notes as well as to events. For simplicity, it refers to events only.

  1. On the VM:Webserver for OfficeVision main menu, specify the owner and date of the schedule you want to work with in the owner and date fields. You can enter a userid, OfficeVision nickname, or group name for owner.
  2. Click Daily Schedule Daily Schedule. The schedule you specified displays.

  3. Check the checkbox for each event you want to schedule on a recurring basis.
  4. Select Schedule recurring event from the pulldown menu and click Submit. VM:Webserver for OfficeVision saves any changes you made to the schedule, then displays the Schedule a Recurring Event page for the first selected event.

  5. If necessary, modify the values in the Start or End fields. You must specify times in both fields, or the keyword NOTES in the Start field. (The original event remains unchanged.)

  6. In the From and To fields, specify the period over which you want to schedule repeated occurrences of the event. The From date must fall on or after today's date and the To date must be later than the From date.

  7. Under Frequency, click the button that indicates how often you want the event scheduled.

  8. For weekly, biweekly, and monthly events, select the day on which to schedule the event (for example, Monday) from the appropriate pulldown menu. For monthly events, select the occurrence of that day on which you want the event schedule d (for example, Third, for the third Monday of the month).

  9. Click Submit.

    If you selected more than one event to schedule on a recurring basis, the Schedule a Recurring Event page redisplays for the next event. When you finish scheduling the last event, you return to the Daily Schedule page.
