Date Book Plus
When you open Date Book Plus, the screen shows the current date and a list of times for a normal
business day.
Scheduling an event
A record in Date Book Plus is called an “event.” An event can be any kind of activity that you
associate with a day. You can enter a new event on any of the available time lines. When you
schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its duration is automatically set to
one hour. You can easily change the start time and duration for any event.
Note:
It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book Plus makes it easy to find
such conflicts. See page 114 for details.
You can also schedule events that occur on a particular date but have no specific start or end
times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as “untimed events.”
Untimed events appear at the top of the list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more
than one untimed event on a particular date.
You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous events, such
as a three-day conference or a vacation.
To schedule an event for the current day:
1. Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.
2. Enter a description of the event. You can enter up to 255 characters.
3. If the event is one hour long, skip to step 7. If the event is longer or shorter than an hour, tap
the time of the event to open the Set Time dialog box.
Tip:
You can also open the Set Time dialog (to select a start time) by making sure no
event is selected, and then writing a number in the Graffiti writing area.
