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:

  1. In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group where the recurring schedule was created.

  2. In the Calendar or Table view, select the recurring schedule you wish to modify.

  3. In the Home tab on the ribbon bar, under the Clipboard group, click the Delete button.

  4. A dialog will appear asking you to choose between:

    • Delete Occurrence
    • Delete Series
  5. Click OK to confirm your selected action.


Alternative Methods

Using the Context Menu

  1. Right-click the recurring schedule.

  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. Navigate to the Home tab.
  2. 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.
