Schedules
On-call schedules are composed of calendar events. Each calendar event is associated with one or more users and one escalation layers.
- A schedule has many events.
- If multiple users are on-call for the same layer, the notifications are said to "fan out".
- If multiple users are on-call, and a user acknowledges the alert, the rest of the users that did not acknowledge the alert will receive a notification stating that another user has acknowledged the alert.

A repeating event is one that has an initial occurrence start and end date. It will then repeat based on the options selected.
Options for repeating events are the following:

- Frequency Unit - Hours/Days/Weeks/Months/Years.
- Applicable Days of the Week - Only days of the week this event should occur. (Only works with frequency unit Days)
- Repeat End (Inclusive) - The last day this event should occur on. (If you set this to be Oct 31, the last occurrence will be Oct 31-> Nov 1)

For repeating events you may be asked which how you would like to edit the event.
- This event - Uses the single occurrence clicked on for point of operation. Only modifies this occurrence.
- This event and following events - Uses the single occurrence clicked on for starting point of operation, modifying the occurrence itself and all future occurrences.
- All events (in this series) - Uses the initial occurrence (regardless of which event was clicked on) for starting point of operation. Modifies all past, present, and future occurrences.
