Chapter 8
Using Date Book

Scheduling an event
A record in Date Book 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.
It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book makes it easy to find
such conflicts. See
later in this chapter.
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 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 5. If the event is longer or shorter than
an hour, tap the time of the event to open the Set Time dialog box.
