About Event Spanning Multiple Years

Sometimes an event will start in one year and end in the next year. A single Event record, however, cannot span multiple years because the year in the Event Start field must match the year in the Event End field. This means that if a given event starts in one year and ends in the next year, you must create two Event records to represent that event.

For example, if an event started December 15, 2016 and ended January 15, 2017, you would create two Primary Event records with the following event dates to represent that event.

	Original Event	Primary Event in 2016	Primary Event in 2017
Event Start	December 15, 2016, 5:00 A.M.	December 15, 2016, 5:00 A.M.	January 1, 2017 12:00 A.M.
Event End	January 15, 2017 1:00 P.M.	December 31, 2016 11:59 P.M.	January 15, 2017 1:00 P.M.
