The events (event)
In Dolibarr, we also call this events the actions. There is some automatic actions (created automatically by Dolibarr) and manual actions (created explicitly by users). This is the role of Agenda module to manage this kind of events.
Automatic events
We can setup in the Agenda module, which event we want to create automatically into the calendar. Events chosen (invoice creation, order validation...) are then created automatically into the calendar. So such events are business actions that has just been done. They are created with status realized (percentage of accomplishment = 100%). Duration of such events are in general 0 seconds (end date = start date)
Manual events and rendez-vous
You can also create yourself events from Agenda menus. So you create, modify, delete an event (named action into Dolibarr). Such events will have a start date, an end date, an accomplishment percentage, all chosen by user. This properties can also be modified later.
