Calendar Entries Tasks and Events

Calendar Entries are items on a calendar, and can be associated to deals, people, or companies.

Important Note

There are two different, separate types of calendar entries: Tasks and events

Events:

  • Have a defined start time and end time, both of which are required for the event to be valid.

Tasks:

  • Have only a due date, which is a calendar date, and has no time. The due date is optional
