The Evolution Executive Summary is designed to show you a summary of important information: the appointments for a given day, important email, and so forth. To see your executive summary, click on the Executive Summary button in the shortcut bar, or select the executive-summary folder in the folder bar. The first thing you'll want to do with the executive summary is add a service. Click the Add Service button in the toolbar, then select one of the available services. Services may vary depending upon your system, but most installations will have at least the following options: Calendar Pending appointments and other events.

The default is news about the GNOME project from gnotices. Each service appears in a small box on the screen; you can remove the service by clicking the x button in the upper right, or bring up a settings dialog by clicking the little wrench icon below that. This section will show you how to use several Evolution services.
