Create recurring events if you have learning events that:
- have the same content
- have different audiences
- have different tutors
You can create recurring events in different configurations including a custom series or events that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. The advantage of these events is that you can optionally edit event characteristics for multiple events at once. What you edit (e.g. assigned curriculum tags, required preparation, etc.) and for which events is entirely customizable.
- If you create an event series you can optionally link events as parent and children for the purposes of accurate reporting.
- If you eventually copy an event schedule forward, recurring event status, as well as parent-child links if enabled, will be maintained.
