Using Date Book
Date Book lets you conveniently manage your schedules and appointments or any
other activities associated with a time and date.
Scheduling events
An entry in the Date Book is called an event . An event can refer to any activity that
you associate with a particular day.
You can schedule the following types of events in Date Book:
• Timed events , which have both times and dates
• Untimed events , for example, birthdays or anniversaries
• Repeating events , such as a weekly meeting held on the same day at the
same time
• Continuous events , such as a vacation or three-day conference
• All day events , which reflect the default hours of a day as set by the user
