It provides no interface for editing your +appointments, or your tasks, but if you click the icon of the application, it will be launched. For those familiar with +PocketPC, this is similar to the Today application included with that. +</para> +<section><title>Configuration</title> +<para> +You can configure the Today application by pressing the wrench icon in the bottom left corner of the window. This will +open the configuration dialog, from which you can change various settings related to display, amongst other things. +</para> +<section><title>Calendar</title> +<para> +The Calendar tab in the configuration dialog lets you change the settings for how your appointments should be displayed. +</para> +<para> +The first field allows you to select the number of appointments to be shown in the Calendar section of the application. +If you add more appointments, you will be taking away screen space from the other sections. +The "Should location be shown?" is for determining exactly that. If checked, the location field of the appointment +will be shown in the Today main view. +"Show only later appoinmtnets" will only show appointments that begin after the current time. +Finally, if the "Should the notes be shown" checkbox is checked, then the notes for each appointment will be visible +in the main view. +</para> +</section> +<section><title>Tasks</title> +<para> +The Tasks tab lets you change how tasks are displayed in the Today main view. +</para> +<para> +The first field lets you chose how many tasks to display in the main view. The more that are shown, the more space +is taken from the other categories. +</para> +</section> +<section><title>Miscellaneous</title> +<para> +The Misc. tab allows you to set global settings that affect the entire application. +</para> +<para> +The "Clip after how many letters" field lets you change the number of characters from each appointment or task that +are displayed in the main view. The "Should today be autostarted on resume" checkbox lets you set whether or not +the Today application should be started each time you resume from a suspend or not.<note><para>This only works +if you have a full installation of Opie. If you are running Today on some other environment (Qtopia, for example) +this feature will not work.</para></note>The final field, "Activate autostart after how many minutes", lets you set +the number of minutes that the device must be suspended before the Today application will start automatically on +resume. For instance, if this is set to 5, and you suspend the device for 3 minutes, when you resume the device, the +Today application will not start automatically. However, if it is set to 5 and you leave the device in the suspend state +for 6 minutes, then Today will be started automatically upon resume. +</para> +</section> +</section> +</chapter> diff --git a/docs/usermanual/usermanual.sgm b/docs/usermanual/usermanual.sgm index 8ad298e..65d424f 100644 --- a/docs/usermanual/usermanual.sgm +++ b/docs/usermanual/usermanual.sgm @@ -7,12 +7,13 @@ <!ENTITY contacts SYSTEM "contacts.sgm"> <!ENTITY calendar SYSTEM "calendar.sgm"> <!ENTITY todo SYSTEM "todo.sgm"> <!ENTITY filemanager SYSTEM "filemanager.sgm"> <!ENTITY embeddedkonsole SYSTEM "embeddedkonsole.sgm"> <!ENTITY software SYSTEM "software.sgm"> +<!ENTITY today SYSTEM "today.sgm"> ]> <book><title>Opie User Manual</title> <bookinfo><authorgroup><collab> <collabname>The Opie Team</collabname> </collab></authorgroup></bookinfo> <part><title>Getting Started</title> @@ -22,12 +23,13 @@ &upgrading; </part> <part><title>Applications</title> &contacts; &calendar; &todo; +&today; &filemanager; &embeddedkonsole; </part> <part><title>Settings</title> &software; </part> |
