Overview

With Control Center v2.28 we've added a new feature to the Event Create wizard that allows you to schedule recurring Events. This applies to both Live Streams and traditional uploaded Media.

The Scheduler is the last step for both Wizard modes, and within it you can schedule Events to recur by Week or by Month.

Note:

Every time you Schedule a recurring Event our system will create New Events for each and will not use the same Event IDs. What they will have in common automatically is general information you input: Event Title, Start Time, Description, Privacy settings, and so forth.

User Interface

In order for the Scheduler to appear, you must select the checkbox which reads:

  • "Schedule Additional Events"

Once this is selected, a Wizard will pop up. This wizard is broken up into the following sections:

  1. Every: This is compried of the week Interval (number input), and a select drop-down allowing to to toggle between "Weeks" and "Months" (When "Months" is selected you aren't provided an Interval)
  2. On: On which days this Event will recur for the given Intervals
  3. Until: At which point the Recurring event will cease. (This must be selected and is not Open-ended.)
  4. Red Trashcan Icon: This will remove the pending schedule.

Once you've set selected all the pertinent fields, you'll notice a new UI element Pop up reading "Schedule Events (Number)". Clicking this element will provide you a UI to alter the Titles of the the Events for those dates; leaving them Blank/Empty will cause the Event's to retain the Event's title (as set in the "Event Details" wizard step)



Examples

Below you we go over what this process looks like from two example statements.

Example 1

"I want this Event to happen every other Monday at 9am."

  • Ensure the Event's Start Time is 9:00 in the "Event Details" step.

Then, in the Scheduler step of the wizard:

  • From the final step of the wizard, "Schedule Additional Events", click the checkbox reading "Create multiple events based on this event"
  • Input "2" for the interval
  • Select "Weekly" (default)
  • Select "M" for Monday
  • Select a date when this Event will stop recurring ("Until" line item)
  • Use the new UI element that shows below the schedule to alter the Titles of those recurring Events (if needed)

Example 1

Example 2

"I want to schedule an Event to happen every second Wednesday of the month at 3pm."

  • Ensure the Event's Start Time is 3:00pm/15:00 in the "Event Details" step.

Then, in the Scheduler step of the wizard:

  • From the final step of the wizard, "Schedule Additional Events", click the checkbox reading "Create multiple events based on this event"
  • Select "Months" on the "Until" line item
  • Select "The Second" and "W" in the "On" line item, (meaning, "every Second Wednesday")
  • Select a date when this Event will stop recurring ("Until" line item)
  • Use the new UI element that shows below the schedule to alter the Titles of those recurring Events (if needed)
