Managing Non-Recurring Events

Note: You can generate events for both contract terms and compliance program requirements. The information in this topic applies to events for both contract terms and requirements.

From the Manage Non-Recurring Events task, you can add, edit, and schedule events that do not follow a predictable schedule See About Non-Recurring Events. The view includes only events that:

• Have an Event Status of Planned, Scheduled, In Process - On Hold, or Stopped. These are the events that most need tracking. Events that are In Progress, Cancelled, Completed, Completed - Verified, or Closed are not shown in this view.
• Have the Do Not Reschedule? field set to Yes. By default, this field is set to Yes for events that are manually created, but you are able to change it for any event that you want to preserve when regenerating events. See Determining if an Event Is Removed When Regenerating Events.

You do not update the Event Status from this task. Use the Update Status and Close Events task to do so.
