Removing a recurring schedule
PADS4 Scheduler allows you to remove recurring schedules in two distinct ways:
- Delete an Occurrence – Removes only a single instance of the recurring schedule.
- Delete the Series – Removes the entire recurrence definition and all associated occurrences.
Important Distinction
- Remove Recurrence: Deletes the recurrence pattern and converts the selected occurrence into a standalone schedule. All other occurrences are removed.
- Delete Series: Deletes the entire recurring schedule, including the recurrence settings and all occurrences.
To Remove a Recurring Schedule
Steps:
-
In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group where the recurring schedule was created.
-
In the Calendar or Table view, select the recurring schedule you wish to modify.
-
In the Home tab on the ribbon bar, under the Clipboard group, click the Delete button.
-
A dialog will appear asking you to choose between:
- Delete Occurrence
- Delete Series
-
Click OK to confirm your selected action.
Alternative Methods
Using the Context Menu
-
Right-click the recurring schedule.
-
Hover over the Delete option in the context menu.
- Choose Occurrence to remove just one instance.
- Choose Series to remove all occurrences and the recurrence rule.
-
Alternatively, hover over Recurrence, then select Remove to delete the recurrence and keep only the selected instance as a single, non-recurring schedule.
Using the Ribbon Bar
- Navigate to the Home tab.
- In the Manage Schedule group:
- Click Remove Recurrence to remove the pattern but retain the selected occurrence as a one-time schedule.
- Or click the arrow next to Delete and select:
- Delete Occurrence
- Delete Series
This flexibility allows you to control how and when recurring schedules are modified or removed—either partially or in full.
