When you edit a recurring schedule, PADS4 Scheduler allows you to choose whether to:

  • Edit the entire series, or
  • Modify only a single occurrence of that series

This flexibility allows you to maintain consistency across a schedule while making occasional one-off adjustments as needed.

Note:
If access permissions are in place, some destination and priority options may be restricted or hidden based on your user rights.

​
Option 1: Edit the Entire Series

This option lets you modify all occurrences of the schedule in one step.

​
Steps:

  1. In the Calendar or Table view, right-click the recurring schedule you wish to edit.
  2. Hover over Edit, then select Series from the submenu.

The Edit Schedule window opens, showing general schedule settings.

  • You can update standard properties like:
    • Destination
    • Priority
    • Display Period
    • Playlist content

  1. Click the Recurrence button to open the Recurrence Settings window.

  2. Modify the recurrence pattern as needed.

  3. Click OK to apply the recurrence changes.

  4. Click OK again to apply all schedule changes.

Your updates will now apply to all future and past instances of the recurring schedule.

​
Option 2: Edit a Single Occurrence

This option allows you to adjust just one specific instance of a recurring schedule.

​
Steps:

  1. In the Calendar or Table view, right-click the specific occurrence you want to change.
  2. Hover over Edit, then select Occurrence from the submenu.

The Edit Occurrence window will open.

  • You can adjust the display period and other basic details for that instance.
  1. Click OK to apply the change to this occurrence only.

The schedule will now show a Recurrence Exception. This means the occurrence is still part of the series but has a modified configuration.

​
Important: Managing Exceptions

Changes to the series will still affect exceptions unless explicitly removed.

If you want to fully disconnect an occurrence from the recurring schedule:

  1. Delete the occurrence.
  2. Manually create a new Simple Schedule to replace it.

This ensures the new entry is completely independent of the original recurring series.
