- - - - - - - Event List - - - - The Event List is responsible for showing you all of - your scheduled events, whether they are all day events or simply one time - events that last a half an hour. - - - - - Todo List - - - - The Todo List compliments the Event List - as it keeps track of your chores or tasks which don't have - any time associated with them. These may include "Clean Room" or "Call - Repairman". - - - - - Calendar Window - - - - The Calendar Window has a graphical representation of - the calendar, so you can select what days to view in the Event - List. - - - - Ways of Looking at your Calendar - - - The toolbar offers you four different views of your calendar: - one day, five days, a week, or a month at once. Press the - calendar-shaped buttons on the right side of the toolbar to - switch between views. You can also select a range of - days— three days, ten days, a fortnight if you want - — in the small calendar at the upper right. - - - The Prev and Next - buttons will move you forward and back in your calendar pages. - If you're looking at only one day, you'll see tomorrow's page, - or yesterday's. If you're looking at your calendar by week, - month, fortnight, or anything else, you'll move around by just - that much. To come back to today's listing, click - Today. - - - To visit a specific date's calendar entries, click - Go To and select the date in the dialog - box that appears. - - - - - - - - Scheduling With the Evolution Calendar - - Of course, you'll want to use the calendar to do more than find - out what day it is. This section will tell you how to schedule - events, set alarms, and determine event recurrence. - - - Creating events - - To create a new calendar event, select - - File - New - Appointment - - or click the New button on the left end - of the toolbar. The New Appointment - dialog will pop up with the usual menu bar, tool bar, and - window full of choices for you. - - - Shortcut - - If you don't need to enter more information than the date - and time of the appointment, you just click in any blank - space in the calendar and start typing. You can enter other - information later with the appointment editor. - - - - - Your event must have a starting and ending date — by - default, today — but you can choose whether to give it - starting and ending times or to mark it as an All - day event. An All day event - appears at the top of a day's event list rather than inside - it. That makes it easy to have events that overlap and fit - inside each other. For example, a conference might be an all - day event, and the meetings at the conference would be timed - events. Of course, events with specific starting and ending - times can also overlap. When they do they're displayed as - multiple columns in the day view of the calendar. - - - Doing Two Things At Once - - If you create calendar events that overlap, - Evolution will display them side - by side in your calendar. However, - Evolution cannot help you do - multiple things at once. - - - - You can have as many as four different - Alarms, any time prior to the event - you've scheduled. You can have one alarm of each type: - - - Display - - - A window will pop up on your screen to remind you of - your event. - - - - - Audio - - - Choose this to have your computer deliver a sound - alarm. - - - - - Program - - - Select this if you would like to run a program as a - reminder. You can enter its name in the text field, - or find it with the Browse - button. - - - - - Mail - - - Evolution will send an - email reminder to the address you enter into the text - field. - - - - - - - - Classification - and only applies to calendars on a - network. Public is the default category, - and a public event can be viewed by anyone on the calendar - sharing network. Private denotes one - level of security, and Confidential a - higher level. Exact determinations and - implementations of this feature have yet to be - determined. - - - Evolution allows for categorizing your - appointments, which can help if you lead a busy life. The bottom - section of the Appointment tab is where your - categorization is done. - - - - Adding a New Category - - You can add a new cateogry to your category list by clicking on - Edit Master Category List... and single-clicking - on * Click here to add a category *. - - - - - The purpose of categories is to let you view all appointments which have - similar activities. To do this, change Any field contains - to Has category and enter your category at right. - - - - Clicking on the Categories button opens up the category - list. To assocate a category to an event, simply click the check box. - - - Once you've selected your categories, click OK to - assign these categories to the event. The categories you selected are now - listed in the text box to the right of the Categories... - button. - - - - The Recurrence tab lets you describe - repetition in events ranging from once every day up to once - every 100 years. You can then choose a time and date when the - event will stop recurring, and, under - Exceptions, pick individual days when the - event will not recur. Make your - selections from left to right, and you'll form a sentence: - "Every two weeks on Monday and Friday until January 3, 2003" - or "Every month on the first Friday for 12 occurrences." - - - - Once you're done with all those settings, click on the disk - icon in the toolbar. That will save the event and close the - event editor window. If you want, you can alter an event - summary in the calendar view by clicking on it and typing. You - can change other settings by right-clicking on the event then - choosing Edit this Appointment. - - - - - - - - - The Task Pad - - The Task Pad, located in the lower right corner of the - calendar, lets you keep a list of tasks separate from your - calendar events. Tasks are colored and sorted by priority and - due-date (see for more - information), and are included with calendar data during - synchronization with a hand-held device. You can use the list - in a larger format by choosing the Tasks - button in the shortcut bar or in the folder tree. - - - To record a new task, click the Add - button below the list. Evolution - will pop up a small window with five items in it: - - - - Summary: - - - The description you enter here will appear in the To Do - list itself. - - - - - - Due Date: - - - Decide when this item is - due. You can either type in a date and time, or select one from - the Calendar and time drop-down menus. - - - - - Priority: - - - Select a level of importance from 1 (most important) to 9 - (least important). - - - - - Item Comments: - - - If you wish, you can keep a more detailed description of - the item here. - - - - - - - Once you've added a task to your to-do list, its summary - appears in the Summary section of task - list. To view or edit a detailed description of an item, - double-click on it, or select it and click - Edit. You can delete items by selecting - them and clicking on the Delete button. - - - - - Multiple Calendars - - Evolution permits you to have and - maintain multiple calendars. This is useful if you maintain - schedules for other people, if you are responsible for resource - or room allocation, or if you have multiple personalities. - - - - Keeping Multiple Calendars - - Keelyn, the office manager for a small company, has one - calendar for her own schedule. On the local network, she - maintains one for the conference room, so people know when - they can schedule meetings. Next to that, she maintains a - calendar that reflects when consultants are going to be on - site, and another that keeps track of when the Red Sox are - playing. - - - - To create a new calendar, select - - File New - Calendar - . - You can place the calendar in any calendar folder and access it - from the folder view.
