Creating a Group Schedule Record

There are four methods of reoccurring that can be preformed using Group Schedule Records. These methods are listed below:  

• Daily: When using a Daily reoccurrence, the user can enter number of days that will occur between occurrences of the exception.

• Weekly: When using a Weekly reoccurrence, the user can select which days of the week the reoccurring exception will occur on.

• Monthly (by Date): When using Monthly (by Date), the user can specify the date each month, for example, the 5th of the month.

• Monthly (by DOW): When using Monthly (by DOW), the user can enter the day of the week and week number the reoccurring exception will occur on, for example, the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Note: Adding multiple records at one time can only be done from one of the Day views in ARCOS.

Caution! Once a Group Schedule Record is setup the method of reoccurring should not be changed because historical data will be modified. If the reoccurring behavior needs to be changed, delete all future occurrences and create a new Group Schedule Record.
