Using Date Book

Date Book lets you conveniently manage your schedules and appointments or any other activities associated with a time and date.

Scheduling events

An entry in the Date Book is called an event. An event can refer to any activity that you associate with a particular day.

You can schedule the following types of events in Date Book:

•Timed events, which have both times and dates

•Untimed events, for example, birthdays or anniversaries

•Repeating events, such as a weekly meeting held on the same day at the same time

•Continuous events, such as a vacation or three-day conference

•All day events, which reflect the default hours of a day as set by the user
