9.5.2 Number of Recurrences.
Having set up the pattern, KeyPlan now wishes to know how many times the event will recur. You
have four choices: “End of recurrence? Press ENTER for none”,
"None" – With this option, the event will recur right out until the end of 9999.
“# occurrences” – with this option, type the number of times the event recurs in digits, the
maximum being 999.
“date” –With this option, type in the date when you wish the last recurring event to occur, or to
occur before, in usual date format. If the date you select does not fall in the recurring pattern, the
last appointment will be the one immediately before it. For example, if your appointment is always
on the second Tuesday of the month, but you specify 31 December 2006 as the end date, the last
recurrence will be the second Tuesday of December 2005, which is the 12th.
"length" – You can specify the length of time by a number of days or weeks. To do this, type the
number and then D or M, for example 6 weeks is 6w and 15 days is 15d. Or, you can press the
relevant hotkey as many times as the number. The hotkeys are: Days = RIGHT ARROW; Weeks =
DOWN ARROW; Months = PAGE DOWN; Years = SHIFT with TAB. For example, for six
months, press PAGE DOWN six times. Press ENTER.
At this point you will be back into the normal Scheduling appointment procedure.
9.5.3 Recurring Appointments scheduled in Outlook.
If you are using KeySync to synchronize your calendar with MS Outlook's, you will find that
recurring appointments that "come across" from Outlook will take exactly the same form as above,
and you can modify and change them as you wish in KeyPlan.
9.5.4 Moving between Recurring Appointments.
It is very likely that you will want to move through the occurrences of a recurring appointment, and
there are commands to do this that work when the cursor is in the time and title line of an instance
of the appointment.
To move to the next occurrence of the appointment, press SHIFT with READ with O. To move to
the previous occurrence, press SHIFT with READ with U.
