Key Features
- AI-Powered Schedule Recurrence (Version 29.0.1, June 2026): Users can create complex recurring schedules using natural language instead of manually configuring recurrence fields. This feature accelerates schedule creation, reduces errors, and supports both simple and advanced recurrence scenarios by automatically filling the recurrence form based on user input.
- Event Recurrence Support (Version 27.0.2, August 2025): Introduces comprehensive recurring event management with flexible frequency options including daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly patterns. It supports custom intervals, weekday logic (e.g., every third Monday), and end conditions (after N occurrences, by date, or infinite repetition).
- Exception Handling and Overrides: Users can exclude specific dates (like holidays) and edit single occurrences without affecting the entire series, enhancing control over recurring events.
- Validation and Summary: The system provides validation rules to prevent schedule overlaps and generates summaries to clarify event configurations.
- Accessibility and Localization: The application complies with WCAG 2.1 AA standards for accessibility and adapts date/time formats based on regional settings.
- Unified Controller Integration (Version 24.6.0, August 2024): Offers integration between the node map component and the CMDB Unified Map for improved configuration management visualization.
Key Outcomes
- Significant reduction in time and effort required to create and manage recurring events.
- Improved accuracy and reduced errors in scheduling complex recurrence patterns through AI-assisted natural language input and validation.
- Enhanced flexibility for users to tailor recurring events with custom intervals, exceptions, and overrides.

Version history
- Version 29.0.1 - June 2026
- New:
- AI‑powered enhancement to the Schedule Recurrence component that lets users create complex recurring schedules using natural language. Instead of manually configuring multiple recurrence fields, users can now simply describe their schedule in plain English, and the system automatically fills in the recurrence form for them.
- This feature significantly reduces the time and effort required to set up recurring events, especially for complex or non‑standard recurrence patterns.
- Creating recurring schedules—especially with complex rules—has traditionally been error‑prone and time‑consuming. This AI enhancement makes recurrence creation:
- Faster – No need to understand or manually configure every recurrence rule
- More intuitive – Users describe what they want in natural language
- Less error‑prone – Structured validation ensures accuracy
- More accessible – Ideal for both simple and advanced scheduling scenarios
- This capability is a major productivity boost for teams that rely on recurring events such as meetings, shifts, reminders, and operational schedules.
- Availability & Scope
- Available as part of the Schedule Recurrence component
- Integrated via the Recurrence Event generator AI platform skill
- New:
- Version 27.0.2 - August 2025
-

- Daily: Repeat every day or on selected weekdays.
- Weekly: Schedule on specific days of the week such as, every Monday and Thursday.
- Monthly: Repeat by date, such as 15th of every month, or weekday such as, second Friday.
- Yearly: Repeats yearly for a specific month, such as Repeats yearly every January on a specific date.
- 2. Custom Recurrence Patterns
- Interval-based: Recurrence every n days/weeks/months.
- Weekday logic: Support for rules like every third Monday or last Friday of the month. Only available in presentational layer.

- End after N occurrences (available only in presentational layer).
- End by specific date (on).
- Never - no end date (infinite repetition).
- 4. Exception Handling and Overrides
- Exclude Specific Dates (e.g., holidays).
- Edit Individual Occurrences without affecting the entire series.
- 5. Summary The component creates a summary when the event details are configured.
- 6. End Date Rules and Validations
