Functional Highlights
- Sitefinity version compatibility: 3.7, 3.6
- Interval type: day, week, month, year.
- Multiple weekday support for weekly events.
- Relative dates can be used for monthly, yearly events (e.g. 2nd Tuesday of the month every 2 months; 1st Monday of September every year).
- Easy maintenance: update / delete all events in a series, update only the current instance, reset a recurring instance to single event.
- Recurring series updates are applied to all event fields that are available for maintenance, including tags and categories.
- All current and future custom meta-fields are automatically included in the recurring event creation / updates.
- Event List View includes additional fields:
- "Event Start" and "Event End" dates with sorting enabled.
- "Recurrence" field displays the type of recurring event (parent, instance, or blank for standard events); links are available for each recurring item that allow for fast and easy recurrence pattern display [?], series filtering [Y], jump to series parent event [^].
- Event Calendar View displays the recurring events with a different colour vs. the standard events, and a "recurring event icon" in the top-left corner; click on this icon to display the recurrence pattern description and event instance start / end date-times, and duration.
- Date-picker is enabled (right-hand side of "today" link) to easily navigate to any date.
- Performance improvements: the response time of the calendar view reduced with about 70%
