Key Concepts

1. Calendar Event Type

A location Calendar Event Type represents a business event occurring at a specific time, such as store opening/closing hours, delivery days, or employee shift start/end and so on. 

2. Calendar Event

A location Calendar Event specifies when an Event Type occurs for a particular location on a weekly basis (e.g., "Store 123 opens at 9 AM on Mondays.", "Store 456 accepts deliveries every Wednesday."). This currently supports repeating events on a weekly schedule but does not yet handle specific calendar dates.

3. Calendar Day Event

A location Calendar Day Event defines when a certain Event Type occurs for an entire day in a weekly schedule (e.g., "Store 789 is open for deliveries every Wednesday."). These events apply across weekly cycles and are not yet configured for specific calendar dates.
