Recurrence Rules

The recurrenceRule field defines when a repeating event occurs.

The field content is based on the RFC5545 Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar) rule format. Each property is separated by a semicolon (;) character.

The following table lists all recurrence rules that are supported by the Scheduler:

Recurrence RuleDescriptionValueExample
FREQ(Mandatory) Specifies the frequency of the occurrence.HOURLY, DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, YEARLYFREQ=DAILY
INTERVALSpecifies the intervals at which the recurrence rule repeats.A positive integer. Defaults to 1.FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=4
UNTILBounds the recurrence rule in an inclusive manner. If neither the UNTIL, nor the COUNT rule is present, the recurrence rule will be considered to repeat forever.A valid Date string.FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=2019-09-04T00:00:00.000Z
COUNTDefines the number of occurrences at which to range-bound the recurrence.A positive integer number greater than 0.FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=2
BYHOURDefines a comma-separated list of hours of the day.An integer between 0 and 23.FREQ=HOURLY;BYHOUR=2,4,6,8
BYDAYDefines a comma-separated list of days of the week.SU, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SAFREQ=DAILY;BYDAY=SA,SU
BYMONTHDAY(Do not use it when the FREQ rule is set to WEEKLY.) Defines a comma-separated list of days of the month. Negative values represent backward counting.An integer between 1 and 31, or -31 to -1.FREQ=DAILY;BYMONTHDAY=10,20,30
BYYEARDAY(Do not use it when the FREQ rule is set to DAILY, WEEKLY, or MONTHLY.) Defines a comma-separated list of days of the year. Negative values represent backward counting.An integer between 1 and 366, or -366 to -1.FREQ=YEARLY;BYYEARDAY=252
BYWEEKNO(Use it only when the FREQ rule is set to YEARLY.) Defines a comma-separated list of ordinals which specify weeks of the year. Negative values represent backward counting.An integer between 1 and 53, or -53 to -1.FREQ=YEARLY;BYWEEKNO=36
BYMONTHDefines a comma-separated list of months of the year.An integer between 1 and 12.FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=9
WKSTSpecifies the day on which the workweek starts.SU, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SAFREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TU,TH;INTERVAL=2;WKST=TH
BYSETPOSDefines a comma-separated list of values that corresponds to the nth occurrence within the set of recurrence instances.A positive (+n) or negative (-n) integer.FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYSETPOS=-2
