-'''[[TBD]]'''
+; Opening an Entry Edit card (synchronous): The script will be called once the Entry Edit card is open and before any days is displayed. Initial field values (defaults) may be set.
+; Before saving the entry (synchronous): The script will be called after the user has pressed the '''<big>Checkmark</big>''' icon and before the entry had been saved to storage. The entered data may be validated; if validation fails, the save may be forestalled and control sent back to the Entry Edit card so the user may fix the errors. Once the data is validated, this phase is an opportunity for many other functions to be performed.
+; After saving the entry (asynchronous): The script will be called once the save of the entry had been initiated and will continue in parallel with final processing of the new entry.
