Description

This session provides methods for searching RecurringEvent objects. The search query is constructed using the RecurringEventQuery. The recurring event record Type also specifies the record for the recurring event query.

getRecurringEventsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of RecurringEvents. A more advanced search may be performed with geRecurringEventsBySearch(). It accepts a RecurringEventSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getRecurringEventsBySearch() returns a RecurringEventSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting RecurringEventList or be used to perform a search within the result set through RecurringEventSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated calendar view: searches include recurring events in calendars of which this calendar is an ancestor in the calendar hierarchy
  • isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to recurring events in this calendar

Recurring events may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the RecurringEventQuery.
