Setting recurrence

Updated 21 Sept 2026

Set a recurrence interval for a course already assigned to a study plan. Change No repeat to 365 days and confirm that the value stays saved after reloading the page.

You need a plan with content already assigned to it and permission to manage that plan’s settings. If the plan has no content yet, start with building a plan.

Numbers in the instructions refer to markers in that step’s screenshot. Below the menu and form details, you can also open the whole application window.

Some training does not stay valid for good. A regulation, an insurer or an auditor wants people to repeat it after a set time — and today somebody keeps the due date in a spreadsheet or a calendar. The recurrence interval belongs to the course’s assignment in the plan, so it lives where the course itself does.

  • The training repeats by law or by internal rule. Safety training every year, first aid every two years. On a course already in the plan you select Repeat periodically, enter 365 or 730 days and save. The period is recorded on the course, not in the trainer’s head.
  • A qualification has a limited validity. A licence to operate equipment expires after a set time. You enter the number of days that matches how long it holds; the field takes any number, not a choice from preset intervals.
  • The plan is already running and you do not want to remove and re-add the course. An auditor points out that the annual training has no recurrence set. You change the existing row through Change assignment, and the Repeat assignment column shows straight away that the value holds.

It is the same task in every case: open the existing assignment, enter a number of days, save and check. When the interval starts counting, and what a learner sees once it elapses, this page does not verify — see the questions at the end.

Open Study plans, select your plan, and choose its Content tab. Find the course whose recurrence you want to change. Open the three-dot menu on that course’s row and select Change assignment (1).

Content tab of the demonstration plan with the Change assignment menu open for BOZP home office.

The setting belongs to this course’s assignment in the selected plan. Check that you have opened the intended plan and course; you can edit this row without removing and adding the course again.

Select Repeat periodically (1). The Repeat period in days field (2) becomes required: enter a number of days directly into the field. It is a numeric entry, not a list of preset intervals.

Example: Our demonstration plan, Pravidelné školení — ukázka 2026-09-09, contains BOZP home office. For this example, the organization has chosen a 365-day interval for reviewing the training, so we enter 365. Choose the interval your organization needs. A duration of 365 days does not select a recurring calendar anniversary.

Click Update (3) to save the changed interval.

Update content assignment dialog: Repeat periodically is checked, Repeat period in days is 365, and Update is available.

The dialog also offers Add deadline, for a completion deadline, and Reassign on major changes, for reassignment following a major content update. Both remain off in this example.

According to the interface, enabling reassignment on major changes resets learners’ progress and assigns the content again when a version with major changes is activated. This walkthrough does not test that effect. See publishing a version for the activation steps.

Back on the Content tab, find the same course. Its Repeat assignment column should now show 365 days (1) in place of No repeat.

Content list after saving and reloading: BOZP home office shows 365 days under Repeat assignment.

Reload the page, return to the Content tab, and check the row again. Then reopen its three-dot menu and choose Change assignment. Repeat periodically should still be selected, and Repeat period in days should contain 365. This confirms the setting was saved and did not merely stay filled in on the form. Close the dialog with Cancel after checking it.

Why is there no Update button? When you reopen the saved assignment without changing a value, the button is not shown. It appears after a value changes. You do not need to change anything just to inspect the saved interval.

What if there is no course row? Add content to the plan first using building a plan, then return to this procedure.

When will learners receive the course again? This walkthrough does not yet establish when the interval starts, what learners see when it elapses, or how previous completion is retained. An interval saved in the table does not confirm those later effects.

Next: assigning the plan to the people who have to take the training. For the plan list and its columns, see study plans.
