Scheduling an Event
An event can be any kind of activity that you associate with a day.
When the Date Book screen first appears, it shows the current date
and a list of times for a normal business day. You can enter a new
event on any of the available time lines.
When you create 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 include 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 Date Book
screen with a diamond in the time list. You can have several untimed
events on a particular date.
To schedule an event for the current day:
1. Tap the time line that corresponds to your event in the Date Book
screen.
2. Use the stylus to write Graffiti ® character strokes (or the on-screen
keyboard) to describe your event. You can enter up to 255
characters.
3. If your appointment is longer or shorter than an hour, tap the time
of the event to open the Set Time dialog. If your appointment is one
hour long, skip to step 7.
