The main view is divided up into a grid, where the columns are the days of the
week, and the rows are the weeks (just like an ordinary calendar). The currently
selected day has a bold box drawn around it, and if the day has an appointment,
there will be a small blue square in the bottom right corner of it (that square
will have a smaller white square if it is a recurring appointment). If the
appointment is an all day event, it will be drawn as a green dot instead. When
you click on the sqaure of a day, you will be taken to the day view for that
day.

<section><title>Adding Appointments</title>
<para>
To add an appointment, click on the add appointment button in the toolbar at the
top of the window (an image of a blank page), and a dialog will open up,
allowing you to enter information about the appointment (depending on the
current view, and what you may have selected, there may be certain default
settings).
</para>
<para>
At the top of the window is the description field, where you can enter in a
short description of the appointment, or select a common one from the dropdown
list. The location field allows you to do the same. The category dropdown allows
you to assign the appointment to a category, which you can use later to view
only some of your appointments. The button labeled "..." to the right of that
will open up a dialog where you can add, delete, or edit certain categories.
</para>
<para>
To enter a start and end time, select the date for each from the dropdown menu,
and then you can either manually enter a time, or you can use the three rows of
numbers to more quickly enter it in. To use the fast input method, first click
in the text entry field of the time you want to edit, then you need to select
the hour. The first two rows are the hours, click whichever one you want. The
third row of numbers are the minutes, in units of five. When you select the
minutes field for the start time, it will automatically set the minutes field
for the end time to the same thing, but you can change this by selecting the end
field and giving it its own minutes field. Because of this, it is fastest to set
the start time first and then the end time. There is also an "all day"
checkbox, which will make the appointment take up the entire day.
</para>
<para>
Underneath this you can set the timezone of the appointment from the dropdown
list. To change the available timezones, click the world icon, and it will open
the City Time application. Refer to its documentation for changing the
timezones. If you want to have an alarm go off, check the "alarm" checkbox,
and then set the number of minutes before the appointment that you want the
alarm to sound. If you set the dropdown list next to that to "silent" you will
only be given a visual alarm, wheras if you set the alarm to "Loud", there
will be an alarm sound as well. Note: opie-alarm must be installed for alarms to
work.
</para>
<para>
To set whether the appointment repeats, click the "Repeat" button and a new
dialog will open up. At the top is a row of buttons, which lets you set how
often the appointment repeats. Selecting one of these buttons will change the
interface below, to represent the available options for that type of repetition
(selecting "None" will turn off repetition if you turned it on and no longer
want it). When you are done, click "ok" in the upper right to select that type
of repetition, or "x" to set it back to what it was (none if it is a new
appointment).
</para>
<para>
Finally, you can add notes to the appointment by clicking the "Notes..."
button which will open a dialog with a text entry field for adding notes. Press
"ok" to accept the changes to the notes, "x" to cancel.
</para>
<para>
When you are done setting up the appointment, click "ok" in the top right of
the window, or "x" to cancel adding the appointment.
</para>
</section>
<section><title>Editing Appointments</title>
<para>
How you start editing an appointment varies depending on what view you are in,
but they will all open the same dialog. The dialog is the same as the Add
Appointment dialog, except that the fields will already be filled in with the
information that the appointment contains. Clicking "ok" will keep your
changes, "x" will revert them to what they were before you edited them.
</para>
</section>
<section><title>Finding Appointments</title>
<para>
To find a specific appointment, click the find button in the toolbar (small
green magnifying glass) and it will open a find dialog. Here you can enter the
text you want to search for, as well as the category you want to search for, as
well as the start date, and whether you want the search to be case sensitive.
Click "Find" to find the next appointment that matches your criteria.
