FREQWEEKLY

FREQWEEKLY is a term used to designate a weekly frequency in scheduling, publishing, and data processing. It serves as a label rather than a formal standard, used in both human-readable planning and machine-readable configurations.

The term combines frequency and weekly; it is commonly applied in contexts where a regular weekly cadence is essential, such as content calendars, email newsletters, and recurring events. It is also used in software systems to denote a recurring job set to run once per calendar week, often on a fixed weekday.

In publishing, FREQWEEKLY can describe issues or editions released every week, for example a weekly roundup or newsletter. In data processing, it is used when resampling time-series data from daily or hourly to a weekly cadence, aggregating values by week.

In scheduling and calendar software, FREQWEEKLY may appear as a frequency option in recurrence rules, distinguishing from daily, monthly, or yearly options. Conversations about FREQWEEKLY usually address handling of ISO week numbering, time zones, and holidays to maintain consistent weekly boundaries.

Note that FREQWEEKLY is not an official standard but a descriptive label found across industries for practical scheduling and data-cleaning tasks. Variants include FREQ-WEEKLY or weekly with explicit weekday specification.
