Appointments are activities that you schedule in your calendar that do not involve inviting other people or reserving resources. You can set reminders for your appointments. You can also specify how your calendar looks to others by designating the time an appointment takes as busy, free, tentative, or out of office. You can schedule recurring appointments. You can view your appointments by day, week, work days, month, year or timegrid. Appointments can be made private. You can set filters to show or hide private appointments in your calendar.
An event is an activity that lasts 24 hours or longer. Examples of an event include a trade show, the Olympics, a vacation, or a seminar. Usually, an event occurs once and can last for one day or several days, but an annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary, occurs yearly on a specified date. Events and annual events do not occupy blocks of time in your calendar; instead, they appear in banners at the top of the date displayed. An all-day appointment displays time as busy when viewed by others, while an event or annual event displays time as free. Events can also be made private.
