Meetings that repeat

A regular meeting (the Sunday service, the Wednesday study) isn’t entered one date at a time: you schedule it once as a series and Inperia puts every date on the agenda.

  1. In New meeting, fill in the details as you would for any meeting. If your church uses meeting types, the Meeting type you choose applies to every date in the series.

  2. Under Repeat, choose one of the quick options or Custom….

  3. Save. Inperia creates the meetings in the series up to a year ahead and keeps adding the next ones as time goes by.

The quick options under Repeat are:

  • Does not repeat
  • Weekly on the same day of the week as the chosen date, for example Sunday
  • Monthly on day followed by the chosen date’s day of the month, for example day 15
  • Monthly on the first, second, third, fourth or last weekday of the month, for example the first Saturday

With Custom… you set every detail of how it repeats:

  • Repeat every 1 to 12 weeks or months.
  • For weekly series, one or more Days of the week: for example, Tuesday and Thursday.
  • For monthly series, the Day of month or the Position, such as “the last Sunday”.
  • Other times on the same day, for a meeting that happens twice on the same day: for example, a service at 10:00 a.m. and another at 6:00 p.m.
  • Ends on: leave it blank so it repeats indefinitely.

When you save a change to a meeting that’s part of a series, Inperia asks Which meetings does this change?:

  • This meeting only
  • This and following meetings
  • All meetings in the series

That way you can move a single date (for a special service, for example) without touching the rest.

In a series, the notice is set as a number of days before the meeting: each meeting sends its own notice before it starts.

To create and edit series, you need the Create and edit recurring series permission.
