Enter the appropriate data into the following fields:
- Name - This required field will assign a name to the event.
- Scheduled Start - This required field is the planned starting date. The actual start time will be recorded when you click the [Start] button on the Activity Details Screen. The scheduled start will be noted on the user's
calendar on the My Home Screen.
- End Date and Time - This optional field allows you to enter an estimated conclusion time for the event. The actual "Completed" date and time will be recorded when you click the [Finish] button on the Activity Details Screen.
- Availability - Select whether you will be "Available", "Busy", or "Away" from the drop down menu.
- Avoid Scheduling Conflicts - Select whether or not to avoid scheduling conflicts, which will assign priority to an event if there are multiple activities at this time on the user's calendar on the My Home Screen.

- Related Party - Enter the internal ID for the party you have scheduled the event with or search for it using the lookup widget. You may add additional parties from the Activity Details Screen when viewing an event.
- Opportunity - If the event is related to an opportunity, you can enter the internal opportunity ID here manually or search for it using the lookup widget.
