By default, the calendar starts showing today's - schedule on a grey and white ruled background. At the upper - right, there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. - Below that, there's a TaskPad, where you can - keep a sort of glorified to-do list that's not linked to your - calendar.

- - - - - Ways of Looking at your Calendar - - - You can view your calendar by the day, by the week, by the - month, or by the year; press the calendar-shaped buttons on the - right side of the toolbar to switch between views. - - - To view yesterday's appointments, (last week's, if you're in - the weekly view, and last month's for the monthly view), click - the Pref button. For tomorrow, next week, - or next month, click Next, and of course, - click Today for 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 - - The Evolution calendar allows you to - schedule events for yourself or a group of people. It can - handle events that repeat, event lengths from ten minutes to - multiple days, and events that have a date but no specific - time. Of course, you can also set event reminders and alarms - so that you don't forget about everything you've just put into - your calendar. Basically, it can handle almost any schedule you - throw at it. - - - 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. - - - 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. For the purposes of the calendar, an - All day event begins at ten in the - morning, runs until eleven at night, and is displayed 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. Events with - starting and ending times can also overlap, however, and when - they do they're displayed as multiple columns in the day view - of the calendar. - - - Doing Two Things At Once - - If you create two calendar events that overlap, - Evolution will display them as - multiple columns in the calendar window. If you manage to - do both things at once, I'd like to meet you. - - - - 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 deliver a sound alarm. - - - - - Program - - - Select this if you would like some additional application - to run 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 is a little more - complicated, 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 - higer level. Exact determinations and implementations of - this feature have yet to be determined. - - - 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 when repetition - will stop, and, under Exceptions, pick - individual days when the event will not - recur. - - - - 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 in - the and 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. - - - 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 the - calendar window. 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 has one calendar for her own schedule. Next to that - she maintains one for the conference room, so people know when - they can schedule meetings. On the local network, 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. Alarms, configuration, and display for - each calendar are seperate from each other. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- cgit v1.2.3
