# Recurring appointments

> How to set up and manage repeating appointments in CalGest.

Recurring appointments let you schedule repeating bookings automatically — useful for regular clients or recurring services.

## Setting up a recurring appointment

When creating or editing an appointment, enable the **Recurrence** toggle and configure:

| Option           | Description                                                    |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Frequency**    | Daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly                            |
| **Days of week** | For weekly/biweekly: which days to repeat on                   |
| **Day of month** | For monthly: which date (e.g., the 15th of each month)         |
| **End**          | Never, after a specific date, or after a number of occurrences |

<Info>
  CalGest generates recurring appointments up to 365 days ahead. As time passes, new occurrences are created automatically.

## Examples

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Weekly">
    A client comes in every Tuesday at 10:00 AM for a session.

    Set frequency to **Weekly**, select **Tuesday**, and choose the start time. Each week, a new appointment is created automatically.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Biweekly">
    A client visits every other Wednesday.

    Set frequency to **Biweekly**, select **Wednesday**, and optionally set an end date or occurrence count.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Monthly">
    A follow-up every month on the 1st.

    Set frequency to **Monthly** and set the day to **1**. If the month doesn't have that day (e.g., February 30), CalGest snaps to the last day of the month.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Editing recurring appointments

When you edit a recurring appointment, CalGest asks what scope to apply the changes to:

| Scope               | Effect                                  |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **This occurrence** | Only changes this specific appointment  |
| **This and future** | Changes this and all future occurrences |
| **All**             | Changes every occurrence in the series  |

This lets you handle exceptions — like rescheduling one session — without affecting the rest of the series.

## Cancelling occurrences

You can cancel individual occurrences without stopping the entire series. The cancelled date is tracked as an exception, and future occurrences continue as normal.

To stop the entire series, edit the recurrence settings and set the end date or deactivate the series.

<Warning>
  Once a recurring series is deactivated, it cannot be reactivated. If you need to resume, create a new recurring appointment.
