dow where you edit events. Second, a Time Zone button will appear at the bottom of the Settings window
for calendar views. Use this button to choose the time zone where you currently are.
4)
You choose your current time zone
. As previously mentioned, events appear on your calendar relative to
your current time zone. iTriumph does NOT actually try to determine where in the world you physically are
and set the current time zone accordingly. Instead, you use the Current Time Zone button in the Settings
window to choose your current time zone. When you choose a new current time zone, all of the events on
your calendar will instantly change on your calendar so they appear relative to the new current time zone.
5)
Choose the correct time zone when you schedule events
. The trick to making sure that events on your
calendar make sense time zone-wise is to make sure you set the time zone correctly when you schedule an
event. Suppose you have both a West Coast and East Coast meeting on the same day. The California meet-
ing is from 9am to 10am and the New York meeting is from 7pm to 9pm. When you schedule the meetings,
set the California meeting in the Event window from 9am to 10am GMT-0800 and the New York meeting
from 7pm to 9pm GMT-0500. As you can see, you set the times for each meeting when they actually occur
in their time zone which makes total sense. You just have to be careful to set the time zone for each event
accordingly. In the morning, when you're on the West Coast, set the Current Time Zone button in the Set-
tings window to California's time zone. Your morning meeting will appear on your calendar from 9am to
10am as expected. The evening meeting will appear from 4pm to 6pm, which at first will seem a little odd
until you remember that you're viewing everything relative to the California time zone. Later in the day
when you arrive in New York, set the Current Time Zone to New York's time zone. Now your evening meet-
ing will appear on your calendar from 7pm to 9pm as expected.

You can change how often events occur and when they stop occurring. Recurring events are useful for schedul-
ing events the repeat according to some pattern like birthdays, weekly meetings, etc.
To change how often an event occurs:
1) Double-click the event. The event window will open.
2) Click the Repeat pop-up menu to choose how often you want the event to occur. Choose Custom if your
want finer control over the recurrence pattern.
3) Click the End pop-up menu to choose when you want the event to stop occurring. You can choose to end
on a specific date or after a certain number of times.
To delete a single occurrence of a recurring event:
You can delete a single occurrence of a recurring event without a
ff
ecting the other days the event occurs on.
This is useful, for example, if you have a weekly meeting that gets cancelled on one particular week.
