Timed & untimed entries

To enter a “timed” or “untimed” day entry:

1.Move the cursor to the date of the appointment and start typing. As soon as you start typing the New entry dialog is shown where you can set the start time and duration of the appointment. If the appointment does not need a start time, remove the tick from the Timed entry box.

∙A timed entry appears with a start time, and can also be displayed with a duration. Entries which cross midnight are marked with « on subsequent days.

∙An untimed entry appears with a bullet and is displayed in the time slot where you type it in.

2.You can set the duration or end time of a timed entry in the New entry dialog, or tap the Alarm/More button and move to Details page to enter a duration longer than 23 hours.

Note: Each view has a standard entry type that is created when you start to type. To add other types of Agenda entry, select Create new entry from the Entry menu, and then select the type of entry you want. You can change the standard entry type for each view. See ‘Customising Agenda’ later.

Note: You can add a handwritten entry by writing the entry as a sketch; see ‘Attaching a sketch’ later.
