ApptBook

Scheduling an Event

Most of the appointments we enter into our palmtops are associated with a specific "start time." However, in some situations we may want to be reminded to do something on a particular day, but not at a particular time.

In such situations, the ApptBook's "Event" function is just what we need. (An event is an ApptBook item that's associated with a particular day, but not a particular time. When you create an event, the "start time" and "end time" fields automatically have the word "NONE" in them.)

Here's an example. I used to attend a church that held its annual church fair on the last Saturday in June. If I wanted my palmtop to remind me of the fair, here are the keys that I'd press:

Use the ApptBook's "Yearly Repeat Option" to remind yourself of a yearly event, such as a church fair that regularly starts on the last Saturday in June.
