Adding, Editing, and Deleting Calendar Events

You can create and edit calendar events directly on iPad.

If you have a Microsoft Exchange account with calendars enabled, or a supported CalDAV account, you can invite other people to your event or meeting.

Add an event: Tap and enter event information, then tap Done.

You can enter the following: ÂÂ Title

ÂÂ Location

ÂÂ Starting and ending times (or turn on All-day, if it’s an all-day event) ÂÂ Repeat times—none, or every day, week, two weeks, month, or year ÂÂ Alert time—from five minutes to two days before the event

When you set an alert, the option to set a second alert appears. When an alert occurs, iPad displays a message. To set iPad to play a sound, see “Alerts” on page 90.

Important: When you travel, iPad may not alert you at the correct local time. To manually set the correct time, see “Date and Time” on page 160. For information about adjusting the calendar time zone, see “Viewing Your Calendars” on page 86.

ÂÂ Notes

If you have more than one calendar, you can select which calendar to add the event to. Read-only calendars don’t appear in the list.

Viewing Your Calendars

You can view a single calendar, selected calendars, or all calendars at once. This makes it easy to manage work and family calendars at the same time.

You can view calendar events in a list, or by day, week, or month. The events for all of your selected calendars appear on iPad.

Switch views: Tap List, Day, Week, or Month.
