Description

This session provides methods to re-assign TimePeriods to Calendars. A TimePeriod may map to multiple Calendars and removing the last reference to a TimePeriod is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Calendar may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Moving or adding a reference of a TimePeriod to another Calendar is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
