```
var availability: EKEventAvailability { get set }
```

## Discussion

This setting is used by CalDAV and Exchange servers to indicate how the event should be treated for scheduling purposes.

If the event’s calendar does not support availability settings, this property’s value is [`EKEventAvailability.notSupported`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventAvailability/notSupported).
