Options

• Categories - The categories associated with the event. This field supports only String[] variables.

• Is All Day - If selected, the event is scheduled for the entire day. If selected, the values that you enter in the Start Time and End Time properties are overwritten. Entering values in the Start Time and End Time properties is required even when you select this property. This field supports Boolean values.
• Show As - The user's availability during the event. Select one of the six options: Unknown, Free, Tentative, Busy, Oof or WorkingElsewhere. The default value is Free.
