PrimeApptIDX is apparently used to create the little blip that is on a date to indicate that there are appointments on the date.

What else is this field used for?
What scripts / field rely upon this field?
Is this is used as a unique id number?

PrimeApptIDX is the unique identifier in the appointments file; it is our serial number. Very important that you're appointments file have one.

You can find where this is used in scripts by printing the calendar's scripts to a PDF and searching for that field name.

It is used in the following scripts...

Edit Appointment
Edit Appointment from Hours (in the SE version)
Edit Appointment - Continue
Edit Appointment - Dupe
Select Repeating Yes / No
Create Repetitions
Show / Hide / Select Repetitions
Apply Filters from Search

It is also used extensively in calculations in the Calendar table.

PrimeApptIDX is apparently used to create the little blip that is on a date to indicate that there are appointments on the date.

That is really just an interface trick that allows us to display those indicators without creating a ton of calculations to do so. We simply display a field we know will be at the end of a valid relationship if there are records present, and format that number field so that it appears as an attractive indicator (a blue dot in this case).

Hope that helps,
