To convert an existing event to a floating event, select the event, tap Details, tap Float as the Type, and then hold Option and press

Return to finish.

When you complete a repeating floating event, it marks only the current occurrence of the event as complete.

Avoid scheduling a floating event that repeats daily. These events can accumulate quickly unless you complete them each day.

When viewing a floating event in a desktop application, the Note field will contain a series of characters: ##f@@@@@@ for an incomplete event and ##c@@@@@@ for a complete event. Do not remove or edit these characters.
