        Calendar events allow you to indicate a recurrence pattern. You can set a start date and time and an end date and time. Events always fire against the local server time.
    - Condition Events
      Condition events are defined by logical expressions against variable values. When these components are set and enabled, they are monitored by the system. When expressions evaluate to true, the event occurs and subscribers to the event are notified.

Time Span Event Attributes

Time span events allow you to indicate when you want an event to occur after the event has been enabled.

You indicate the initial start offset from midnight, as well as the time lapse between intervals. After this time span is set, it runs at this interval indefinitely. Events always fire against the local server time.

Example

If you set the start offset at five minutes and the time span at 60 minutes, then the time span event is every hour at five minutes after.

The following table describes time span events.

Specify the start offset	System-defined	Indicates the length of time set to elapse from midnight, in days, hours, minutes, or seconds, before the first interval begins.
