Customising Agenda

You can change the view that you see when you open the Agenda and set preferences for inserted objects by selecting the General preferences command from the Tools menu.

You can change the way each view looks by selecting View preferences from the Tools menu, while in the view.

∙In the View preferences, you can select which type of entry you will add if you select an empty day or time slot and just start typing, press Enter or tap on an empty slot.

∙You can also select which types of entry you want to show in the Day, Week and Year planner views.

∙If you want to change the times shown in the day view to suit your working day, change slot definitions in the Day view preferences.

∙If you only want to show one entry symbol in the Year planner, set the ‘Show which symbols’ line in the Year planner preferences to ‘One’. Then select the entry symbol you want to show.

You can change the standard settings for entries by selecting Entry preferences from the Tools menu, and then selecting the entry type.

Agenda files

You may wish to keep separate Agenda files for business, hobbies and so on.

Create a new Agenda file for your information (using the command on the File menu).

∙You can now add entries to the new Agenda file. You can use cut, copy and paste to move entries between Agenda files.

∙If you have two Agenda files and want to combine them, use the Merge command from the File menu.

“Tidying” an Agenda file

You should tidy the Agenda on a regular basis to stop the file from getting too large. To do this:

1.Select the Tidy/archive file command from the More commands on the File menu.

2.You can select whether you want to copy or move old entries to a new file, or delete them. If you move or copy them to a new file, you must specify the name and location of the new file.

If you copy them to a new file, the entries are not removed from the current Agenda file.

3.Select which entries you wish to tidy, e.g. crossed out entries, and select the entry types you want to tidy by pressing the Entry types button.

4.Select the range of entries you want to tidy.

Note: If you have moved or copied entries to a new file, you should see the file on the System screen and be able to open it like any other Agenda file.
