Define pattern and range for recurring meetings
Define the pattern for a recurring meeting to describe how often to schedule this meeting. Define the range for a recurring meeting to set during which date period to schedule this meeting.
NOTE It is not possible to change or delete one occurrence of a recurring meeting. If one of the occurrences of the meeting is deleted, all occurrences are deleted. If you move the start time of the meeting from 10:00 to 11:00, all occurrences of the meeting are moved to 11:00. If you need that type of flexibility, an alternative is to create one meeting and copy it to other days.
