What is RecurrenceRule in the Schedule control?

S. No

Property Name

Purpose

1

FREQ

Maintains the Repeat type value of the appointment.

(Example: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Every week day)

Example: FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1

2

INTERVAL

Maintains the interval value of the appointments.

For example, when you create the daily appointment at an interval of 2, the appointments are rendered on the days Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (creates the appointment on all days by leaving the interval of one day gap)

Example: FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1

3

COUNT

It holds the appointment’s count value.

For example, when the recurrence appointment count value is 10, it means 10 appointments are created in the recurrence series.

Example: FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=10

4

UNTIL

This property is used to store the recurrence end date value.

For example, when you set the end date of appointment as 6/30/2014, the UNTIL property holds the end date value when the recurrence actually ends.

Example: FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=8/25/2014

5

BYDAY

It holds the “DAY” values of an appointment to render.

For example, when you create the weekly appointment, select the day(s) from the day options (Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday). When Monday is selected, the first two letters of the selected day “MO” is stored in the “BYDAY” property. When you select multiple days, the values are separated by commas.

Example: FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,WE;COUNT=10

6

BYMONTHDAY

This property is used to store the date value of the Month while creating the Month recurrence appointment.

For example, when you create a Monthly recurrence appointment in the date 3, it means the BYMONTHDAY holds the value 3 and creates the appointment on 3rd day of every month.

Example: FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=3;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=10

7

BYMONTH

This property is used to store the index value of the selected Month while creating the yearly appointments.

For example, when you create the yearly appointment in the Month June, it means the index value for June month is 6 and it is stored in the BYMONTH field. The appointment is created on every 6th month of a year.

Example: FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTHDAY=16;BYMONTH=6;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=10

8

BYSETPOS

This property is used to store the index value of the week.

For example, when you create the monthly appointment in second week of the month, the index value of the second week (2) is stored in BYSETPOS.

Example: FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO;BYSETPOS=2;UNTIL=8/11/2014

9

WKST

This property is used to store the start day value of a week.

For example, when you render the workweek the “WKST” value is Monday.

10

EXDATE

EXDATE is used to hold the modified appointment date details (date value).

For example, when you change the recurrence appointment under the date “6/19/2014”, then this date is added to the recurrence rule EXDATE field. “EXDATE” is also used to differentiate the edited occurrence of the recurrence series for some internal process while doing the “Edit Series or Delete series”.

Example: FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;COUNT=10;EXDATE=6/18/2014,6/20/2014;RECUREDITID=1651

11

RECUREDITID

This property contains Parent Id value of the edited appointment. It is used to communicate edited appointment occurrence with the parent recurrence appointment series.

For example, when you edit the particular occurrence of the recurrence appointment series, the “RECUREDITID” is added to that appointment depicting its parent Id.

Example:

FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;COUNT=10;EXDATE=6/18/2014,6/20/2014;RECUREDITID=1651
