# Create recurring event with exceptions {#createrecurringeventswithexceptions}

This tutorial will show you how to create a recurring event with exceptions / excluded dates.

## Scenario {#scenario}

In this example an event is repeated every friday.
It should be limited to a specific time span and exclude the school holidays.
Instead of excluding every single date in each event, a configuration group is used.
Through this the exceptions can be reused in multiple events and easier maintained.

## Realization {#realization}

1.  Create a configuration group

    1.  Create a new configuration group
    1.  Add configurations with time frames which should be excluded (**Handling** should still be `Include`)

        ![New configuration group with multiple configurations](../Images/User/configuration-group-holidays.png)
1.  Create a recurring event

    1.  Create an Event and fill in the mandatory fields.
    1.  Add a configuration with a weekly frequency and a till date.

        ![Event configuration on the frequency tab](../Images/User/event-recurring-frequency.png)
    1.  Add an additional configuration and set **Type** to `Group` and the **Handling** to `Exclude`.
    1.  Fill in the field **Groups** by selecting the previously created group.

        ![Event configuration on the frequency tab](../Images/User/event-exclude-group.png)
    1.  Save and repeat this for other events.
1.  Check the result

    Inspect the dates in **Calendarize (Information - Save to refresh...)** or in the frontend.

> [!NOTE]
> Group configurations are valid event models, so they might be displayed by themselves in the frontend.
> Use **Configuration (record type)** in the plugin to prevent this.
