CHAPTER 7
Using Date Book
Date Book enables you to quickly and easily schedule appointments or any
kind of activity associated with a time and date. You can attach notes to
Date Book records (called
events ) and set alarms to remind you when they
happen. You can also look at your schedule through four different views.
To open Date Book:
■
Press the Date Book application button on the front panel of your handheld.
Date Book opens to today’s schedule.
TIP
Press the Date Book application button repeatedly to cycle through the
Day, Week, Month, and Agenda views.
When you open Date Book, the screen shows the current date and a list of times for
a normal business day.
Scheduling an event
A Date Book event can be any kind of activity that you associate with a day. 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.
You can also schedule events in your Date Book 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 also schedule repeating events , such as a weekly meeting, and continuous
events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.
