EventList in Series 40

In both Series 40 and S60 the calendar has several different types of entries. There is no explicit field for the entry type in the PIM API; instead there must be a separate list for each type of calendar entry.

The Series 40 platform supports five types of events:

Meeting
Call
Birthday
Memo
Reminder

In Series 40 the calendar contains “notes” that are mapped to PIM API Event objects as detailed in this section.

Meeting

The following table displays the available calendar note types and their associated native fields together with the corresponding PIM API field:

`Event.SUMMARY`	Subject
`Event.LOCATION`	Location
`Event.START`	Start date/time
`Event.END`	End date/time
`Event.ALARM`	Alarm
`Event.UID`	(Internal unique identifier)

Call

The following table displays the available calendar note types and their associated native fields together with the corresponding PIM API field:

**Table 18:** The supported Call `Event` fields

Repeating Calendar Events

Calendar events can repeat according to repeat rules set by the user, with the exception of the Birthday type, which has a yearly repeat. In PIM API the Event instance can have an associated RepeatRule class instance that stores information about how and when the Event repeats.

**Table 22:** The supported repeat rules for `Event` instances
Repeat Type	RepeatRule Attributes
Never	No associated `RepeatRule` for Event
Every day	(FREQUENCY, DAILY)
Every week	(FREQUENCY, WEEKLY)
Every 2 weeks	(FREQUENCY, WEEKLY) + (INTERVAL, 2)
Every month	(FREQUENCY, MONTHLY)
Every year	(FREQUENCY, YEARLY)

The Series 40 implementation also supports the following RepeatRule fields:

RepeatRule.END
RepeatRule.DAY_IN_WEEK
RepeatRule.DAY_IN_MONTH
RepeatRule.MONTH_IN_YEAR
