Guide to the Calendar application.
Overview
========
IMPORTANT: Calendar is a prototype application. See
@{article:User Guide: Prototype Applications}.
The Calendar application is a tool that allows users to schedule group events
and share personal plans.
There are several kinds of events you can create:
- Regular events such as a one-time meeting or a personal appointment.
- All day events such as a company-wide holiday or a vacation.
- Recurring events, which can be regular or all day, such as a weekly 1-1 or
a birthday.
Editing Events
==============
All fields of basic and all day events can be edited after the event has been
created.
Every instance of a recurring event has an index that maintains its place in
the sequence order. Before an instance of a recurring event is edited, it is
considered a ghost event, or a placeholder. This means that there is no
database entry for that instance. Rather, when querying for events, if a
recurring series of events overlaps with the query range, instance
placeholders of that recurring event are generated and are displayed for
that range. If a placeholder instance of a recurring event is edited, a real
entry in the database is created and all changes are saved. When that
instance falls within a query range, the real instance event replaces the
old placeholder instance.
To prevent disordering of the recurring sequence of events, parent recurring
events do not allow editing of date-related fields like recurrence frequency
and recurrence start and end dates. If all instances of the recurring event
need to be rescheduled, users are encouraged to cancel a recurring event and
create a new recurring event with the revised date and time.
Cancelling Events
=================
Cancelling basic events will hide that event from most of the builtin Calendar
queries, unless the query specifies to display cancelled events.
There are two ways to cancel an instance of a recurring event.
- Cancel an instance of a recurring event.
- Cancel the entire series of a recurring event.
Cancelling a placeholder instance of a recurring event will create a real
cancelled event that will replace the placeholder instance. Consequently,
the cancellation status of that instance of the recurring event will
persist if the parent event is cancelled and subsequently reinstated.
When an entire series of a recurring event is cancelled, all the placeholder
and real instances are also cancelled. An entire series can similarly be
reinstated, but it is currently not possible to reinstate an instance of a
cancelled recurring event series. To reinstate that instance, the entire
series must be reinstated. If an instance of a recurring event has been
cancelled, then the entire recurring event series is also cancelled,
reinstating the series will not reinstate the previously cancelled instances
of that event.
Commenting On Recurring Events
==============================
If a placeholder instance of a recurring event has not been converted to a
real instance of the series as a result of editing or cancelling, commenting on
that placeholder instance does not currently save a draft for that instance
only. The draft is saved for the recurring event parent, so the parent
recurring event and all placeholder instances will show that draft. When a
comment is actually added to a placeholder instance, the instance is converted
to a recurrence exception, and the comment will only appear on that instance
of the recurring event.
