Description
Activity Currency
Indicates the default currency for all currency amount fields in the activity.
Amounts are displayed in the activity currency. They are also converted to the
user’s personal currency. Available only in orgs in which multiple currencies
are used.
All-Day Event
By selecting this checkbox, a user specifies that the event lasts all day. When selected (true), the Start and End fields are shown as dates. When not selected (false), the Start and End fields are shown as dates and times. When users without access to this field create records, this field is set to false.
Assigned To
Indicates the assigned owner of the event.
Important By default, the event is assigned to the user who created it. If
the event is created by the Automated Process user, assign the event to a different
user. The Automated Process user isn’t a valid value for the Assigned To
field.
If an event includes invitees, invitees get a copy of the original
event in which the invitee is the event owner.
This field isn’t available in
Personal Edition.
Attendees
Lets you relate people and resources to an event. In Lightning Experience and the
Salesforce mobile app, the people you invite to your events are called attendees. In
Salesforce Classic, they’re called invitees. In Lightning Experience and the
Salesforce mobile app, users get the Attendees field when admins add it to Event page
layouts or quick actions layouts.
autoRelateEventAttendees
When users add attendees to events, events are automatically related to up to 50
contacts or one lead. An attendee is matched by their email address to a contact or
lead.
Admins control this field on the Activity Settings page.

API version 42.0 and later.

events are disabled.

from the related account, lead, case, or custom object, if any. Otherwise, the
activity belongs to the global division. Available only in orgs in which divisions are
used to segment data.
Duration
Represents the length of an event spanning less than a full day, in hours and
minutes. This field appears only if multiday events are disabled.
Email

field is filled in with the value from the related contact or lead record.

Contains the name of the user who last changed the event, including the
modification date and time. Read only.
Name
Contains the name of the contact or lead related to the
event. If Shared Activities is enabled in your org, a user can relate up to 50
contacts to a non-recurring event.This field is visible only to users with the “Read”
permission for contacts and leads. Relating a contact to an event can affect
the account to which Salesforce relates the event. See the Related
To field.
Location
Indicates the location of the event.
Phone
Contains the phone number of the contact or lead related to the event. This field
is filled in with the value from the related contact or lead record.
Private
Indicates whether users other than the event owner can see the event details when
viewing the event owner’s calendar. However, users with the “View All Data” or
“Modify All Data” permission see private event details in reports and searches or when
viewing other users’ calendars. Exported data files always contain private
events. Events with invitees and events being added or changed in another
user’s calendar can’t be marked private. Private events can’t be related to
other records.
Public
This checkbox lets a user specify whether a past event is visible in the Self-Service portal.Starting with Spring ’12, the Self-Service portal isn’t available for new Salesforce orgs. Existing orgs continue to have access to the Self-Service portal.
If digital experiences is enabled in your org, the value in this field specifies whether the event is visible to external users in Experience Cloud sites. If an external user owns the event, that user sees the event in the site regardless of whether the event is marked public.
This field is not visible by default. A Salesforce admin can expose it.
Related To
Represents the record that the event is related to, such as an account, an opportunity, or a custom object. This field is available only when a user relates the event to a contact, not to a lead. The record is visible only to users with the “Read” permission for the type of record the event is related to.
If you relate the event to an object other than an account, Salesforce determines the account on the event as follows.
Suppose that a user relates the event to an opportunity, a contract, or a custom entity that belongs to an account. Salesforce uses that object’s account as the account for the event.
Suppose that a user relates the event to some other object and also to a contact. Salesforce uses the primary contact’s account as the account for the event.
If a user leaves the Related To field empty, then Salesforce doesn’t relate an account to the event.
Repeat
By selecting this checkbox, a user can set up a series of recurring
events.
Show Time As

out of office, or free.

are enabled.

Time
Indicates the start time of a planned event. This field appears only if multiday
events are disabled.

picklist is 40 characters.
