  7. What is the recurrence of events and is it worth using this feature?

    The recurrence of events defines the time interval and frequency of the event. The time interval is the amount of time between subsequent entries, and the recurrence determines the pattern in which they are to appear on the schedule. The function of entering recurring events can be helpful in many situations. Here are a few examples:

  • Regular meetings or conferences: If your company organizes regular meetings with clients or internal conferences, you can set the recurrence of these events to avoid the need to manually add them to the calendar each time.

  • Daily tasks: If routine tasks take a certain amount of time that you need to perform every day or every few days, you can set up a recurring meeting for yourself to regularly remind you about them.

  • Periodic tasks: Some tasks may only be performed periodically, for example, every few weeks or months. In such cases, the recurrence of event entries can help in planning and organizing these tasks at appropriate intervals.
