There is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the month, and a entry field which allows you to select the year (press the up or down arrows, or enter in your own year). </para> <para> 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. </para> </section> </section> <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. </para> </section> -</chapter>
