Definition of terms used in the source code and documentation.

Events​

Standalone Event: An event that has a datetime and is NOT recurring.

Grid Event: An event that is assigned to a specific time slot on the calendar in the grid.

Draft Event: A calendar event that has pending changes that have not yet been persisted to the database. When a user makes changes to an event in the form, or drags the event, or resizing its times, the user is operating on a draft event. After the user clicks "Save", the draft event is persisted to the database, and the Draft Event goes away and is replaced with the Event.

Someday Event: These have startDate and endDate like regular timed events, but they have not yet been assigned to a specific time slot on the calendar in the grid. Instead, they are stored in the sidebar. These may be recurring or standalone.

Base Event: A recurring event that is recurring and has the series RRULE in the recurrence field.

Instance Event: A recurring event that is an instance of the base event.
