|  In addition to scheduling appointments for yourself, you can schedule events. Events are functions or activities that occupy your time for an entire day, or even several days. Events include vacations , birthdays, anniversaries, business- related travel for meetings, seminars , and so forth. Regardless of the time slot in which you initially typed the event, events appear in the Calendar as a banner across the top of one or more dates in the Appointment area. When you schedule an all-day event, the availability indicator for all time slots in the Appointment area is purple, indicating that you are out of the office. However, you can still schedule appointments during these times. Schedule an Event -
