Can I create recurring events?

Short answer: No and yes ... ;)

"Real" recurring events: no

“Real” recurring event are currently not planned as a feature because...

1) ... we have already had some negative experiences with the “big official” calendar service providers in a similar context.
If you are operating within a single environment (e.g. ONLY Microsoft Outlook 365), this usually still works to some extent, but as soon as several different calendar clients are involved (i.e. BANDZONE plus various other clients that can subscribe to the band calendar the “fun” starts.

2) ... the above problem becomes disproportionately bigger, the more has to be "done" in individual events of the series. For example: individual availabilities, notes, setlists, various status values of individual events, etc. Solving all this for many environments causes ongoing technical pain without too much added value compared to our solution (see below).

3) ... we want to provide you with the most stable, reliable and cross-platform calendaring experience possible.

Better, yet "unreal" recurring events : yes !

We have the possibility to create multiple appointments as easily and quickly as possible with identical data using the “+ + Multiple events” button (1):

Events created this way still are dedicated events.

The only difference: We also save a group information for events created that way. A group name can also be entered by you on creation. Events within a group have a special event group icon in the date area. All the events within the group can be accessed via this link.

The optional notifications about new event groups (3) also includes a link directly to this event group so that the individual events can be accessed quickly.

Example of using event groups: rehearsals

Rehearsals can be created this way, for example, 3 months or more in advance.

All band members can also be set as “available” (2)!

This eliminates the need for everyone to confirm the standard case, i.e. that you are present for the rehearsal.

The future

But that is just the beginning. We have planned to make certain thing changeable for a whole event groups as well. Also things like adding events to a group etc.
This brings us closer and closer to the “usual” recurring event feature, but without having to deal with all their side effects.

Our goal is to bring you the most stable, reliable and cross-platform calendaring experience possible!

The "classical" recurring events approach did not allow us to do that.
