Configuring the Creation of New Recurrence Activity Series from an Existing Activity

The Activity Repitition (WH) infoarea is used to configure the recurring activity.

You can allow the user to create a new recurrence series using an existing recurrence Activity configured on the calendar, such that the new recurrence series starts from the day the activity was scheduled to start.

To configure the recurrence series, perform the following steps:

1. Add a button that creates a new Recurrence series. (In this sample procedure we create a button called Recurrence)

   2. Click Buttons under Navigation panel.
   3. Add a new button named Recurrence.
