Key Concepts

  1. When a recurring job is created a series of appointments is created based on the recurrence rules you defined, for example: Every week on Sunday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, starting on 10/13/2024 until 1/13/2025.
  2. A job is created and associated with each of the appointments in the series. For example, if 10 appointments are created, there will be 10 jobs created (with each job associated to a specific appointment). These jobs are copied from the recurring job you created the schedule from.
  3. When editing an appointment in the series, you can edit just that appointment or that appointment and all future appointments in the series.
  4. When editing a job in the series, you can edit just that job or that that job and all future jobs in the series.

  1. This job only: the edits will only be applied to this particular job.
  2. This job and all future jobs in the series: the edits will be applied to this job and all the jobs that are scheduled after it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When saving edits to an existing recurring job, and selecting the option This job and all future jobs in the series IF you have made any changes to later jobs (recurring jobs in the series that are scheduled after this one) then you will be prompted that this operation will OVERWRITE those jobs and your changes to those jobs will be lost. The exception to this is if any later job in the series has a payment or an invoice created then that job will NOT be affected.

If you choose to select that appointment and all future appointments, you will have the ability to edit the recurrence rules. This is useful for scenarios where you have an appointment series setup for a particular day and time and part way into the appointment series you need to change the day and or time for the rest of the appointment series.
