How Condeco manages unsupported recurrence patterns
The way Condeco responds to unsupported recurrence patterns created in MS Outlook depends whether Exchange Sync is configured or not.
Exchange Sync is not configured: Condeco converts unsupported recurrence patterns to specific recurrence patterns. However, if the total number of occurrences in a booking exceeds 52, Condeco will advise amending the recurrence pattern.
Exchange Sync is configured: Condeco advises amending the recurrence pattern. With Exchange Sync configured, Condeco does not convert unsupported recurrence patterns for either Condeco rooms or Exchange rooms.
Condeco manages unsupported recurrence patterns as follows:
| Pattern | MS Outlook repeat options not supported by Condeco | NO Exchange Sync | Exchange Sync configured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly |
|
Advised to amend recurrence pattern. | Advised to amend recurrence pattern. |
| Monthly |
|
Converts to specific recurrence pattern. | Advised to amend recurrence pattern. |
| Yearly | All (excluding ranges exceeding 52 occurrences) | Converts to specific recurrence pattern. | Advised to amend recurrence pattern. |
