Brief description of the scheduled item

startOrDueDate

protected Date startOrDueDate

Date on which item is scheduled or due. The startOrDueDate is a multi-purpose field of ScheduledItem. Its purpose depends on whether an item is a Task and whether it is recurring (Events cannot recur). For non-recurring appointments and meetings, StartOrDueDate is used as the single date on which the item is scheduled. If the item is recurring, StartOrDueDate is the first date on which it occurs. For a non-recurring Task, StartOrDueDate is the single date the task is due. If the task is recurring, StartOrDueDate is the first date it is due.

endDate

protected Date endDate

Last date on which item is scheduled or due. In recurring appointments, meetings, and tasks, the end date defines the last date on which the item will recur. In events, the end date defines the last date of a multi-day event. When the value of end date is empty, the StartOrDueDate component is interpreted as the single date on which the item occurs.
