INTRODUCTION

Feature Summary: Copy an existing event to extend its schedule after reaching the 99-occurrence limit by adjusting the event dates and recurrence settings.

Use Cases: If an event has already been created and you need to add more dates, copy the event and update the start date and recurrence parameters on the new event. This allows the event to continue without affecting existing registrations or historical data.


SETUP REQUIREMENTS

  1. Log in to the admin dashboard.

  2. Go to the side menu and click EVENTS > LIST.

  3. Locate an event on the Events table. Click the three-dot icon and select Update.

  4. Go to the event's General Info tab.

Under the Recurrence Rules section, the End Event After X Dates or End By Date settings control when the recurrence ends.


Managing Events That Reach the 99-Date Limit

CourtReserve currently supports a maximum of 99 dates per event. If an event reaches this limit, it is not recommended to adjust the original start date once registrations exist, as this can impact existing registrants and cause unintended issues.

Best Practice:
Instead of modifying the original event, copy the event and update only the necessary fields—such as the event start date or recurrence rules—on the new event. This preserves existing registrations and avoids affecting historical data.

This approach ensures continuity for current participants while allowing you to extend or adjust future event dates safely.

At the top of the event's page, click the orange Copy button.

Adjust the necessary fields as required—in this example, the Event Date was updated. The original event had reached the 99-occurrence limit and needed to continue. The club admin copied the event and updated the event start date to October 20, the next available date after the limit was reached. They wanted to keep the event going, so left the recurrence at 99 dates.

After updating, click Save Changes.

Note: Another option for keeping an event recurring without reaching the 99-occurrence limit is to split it by day. For example, create separate events for Monday, Tuesday, and so on, each with up to 99 occurrences.


In Summary

By copying an event and updating only the necessary dates and recurrence settings, you can safely extend events that have reached the 99-occurrence limit without impacting existing registrations or historical data. This approach ensures continuity while preserving the integrity of the original event.
