  • Enable user-customizable ad hoc events: If this is selected, user will have the option to customize the event title, duration and event type using Pearl management interface.
  • Session title: This assigns a default title for ad hoc events. Default variables specify the current date and time as the title using the format yyy-mm-dd hh:mm. This default title can be changed when an ad hoc event is created. Otherwise, the default values specified here will be used.
