Inspired XPress - Programming Guide
Events can be scheduled as a single-time event or as a series of repeating events. By default, all new events are single-
time events. To transform an event into a repeating event, you need to check the Repeat check box in the Event zone. By
default, the event will repeat every day indefinitely.
To change the rule for a repeating event, press the Pattern button, which opens the recurrence rule dialog (FIG.41). This
dialog allows you to create fairly complicated recurrence rules.
Creating a basic recurrence (such as every day, every 2 hours or every week) is fairly straightforward. For instance:
For an event repeating every day, select “Pattern repeat every 1 Day”. You have the option of selecting a
number of repetitions or the date of the last repetition.
For an event repeating every 2 hours, select “Pattern repeat every 2 Hour”.
For an event repeating every Monday, select “Pattern repeat every 1 Week”. Make sure your initial event was
occurring on a Monday.
For an event repeating the first day of every month, select “Pattern repeat every 1 Month”. Make sure your
initial event was occurring the first day of the current month.
For more complex rules, you need to use the second part of the dialog. For instance:
For an event repeating every week day, select “Pattern repeat every 1 Week”, and check “Weekday is”. Then
check all the days from Monday to Friday.
For an event repeating at 10h and 15h every day, select “Pattern repeat every 1 Day”, and select “Hour is
10,15”.
Depending on the version of XPress, it might be necessary to click the Pattern button
and then the OK button to confirm this repetition.
