Field	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. Available in API version 42.0 and later.
`Created By`	Indicates the user who created the event, including the creation date and time. Read only.
`Date`	Indicates the planned date of the event. This field is displayed only if multiday events are disabled.
`Description`	Description of the event. The limit is 32 KB of data.
`Division`	Indicates the division to which the activity belongs. This value is inherited 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`	Contains the email address of the contact or lead related to the event. This field is filled in with the value from the related contact or lead record.
`End`	Indicates the planned end date and time of the event. This field appears only if multiday events are enabled.
`Event Record Type`	Contains the name of the field that determines which picklist values are available for the record. Available in Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions.
`Last Modified By`	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`	Determines how the event appears when other users view a user’s calendar: busy, out of office, or free.
`Start`	Planned start date and time of event. This field appears only if multiday events are enabled.
`Subject`	Contains the subject of the event.
`Time`	Indicates the start time of a planned event. This field appears only if multiday events are disabled.
`Type`	Indicates the event type; for example, email or meeting. Limit for values in the picklist is 40 characters.
