The script is called "Create Edit Delete Event ( SourceNo ) { Operation , DateStart , DateEnd , TimeStart , Resource... }" and it can take any number of parameters to let you manipulate events using your own scripts.
In our Sample Contacts example we send the following parameters to create a new record for the contact we're looking at:
-> "SourceNo = 1 ; Operation = Create ; ContactID = " & SampleContacts::_id & " ; DateStart = " & Get ( CurrentDate )
Read the comments at the beginning of this script to learn about other parameters you can send to this script. If you need to create event records from other layouts, or as part of scripted processes (like "create a followup call for this contact two weeks from today"), this script is your friend.

Absolutely. DayBack reads the events in your FileMaker tables so events you create there--by whatever means--will show up in the calendar.

!! How can I create events for a specific source?
If you have [[multiple sources]] in the calendar we follow a simple rule to determine in which source an event is created:
-> You can set a default source for new events in the script "Load Calendar Settings - On Startup..."
-> If only one source is visible (is turned on in the Sources tab) then we create the event in that source.
-> If multiple sources are shown, and the default source is among them, we use the default source.
-> If multiple sources are shown, and the default source is NOT among them, we use the first visible source.
Note that you can change this behavior if you wish by editing the script "Determine source for a new event"
