Date Book
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 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.
Note:
It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book
makes it easy to find such conflicts. See “Spotting event
conflicts” 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.
