Calendar Event Attributes

Calendar events allow you to indicate a recurrence pattern. You can set a start date and time and an end date and time. Events always fire against the local server time.

Example

The first occurrence date does not have to match the recurrence setting. For example, if you set the First Occurrence Date to June 15, 2009 with a monthly recurrence set to the first Monday of every month, the event will trigger on June 15, 2009 even though it is not the first Monday of the month. The recurrence schedule determines the subsequent occurrences.

The following table describes ranges and times for calendar events.
