Adding a new event

The main difference between events and tasks is that "completing" an event does not impose the interaction of the user. E.g.: a meeting or a tv-show (event) takes place at a given moment, regardless of the user’s presence. On the other hand, the payment of a bill (task) is directly linked to a user, and it remains unsolved until the user makes the payment (thus marking the task as completed).

To add a new event you can do one of the following:

• press (Ctrl+E)
• click on the "Add new event" link in the shortcuts tab
• right click on the event list and select "Add new event"
• go to the "Records" menu and select "Add new event"

There are two types of events:

• one time event (e.g.: a meeting)
• recurring event (e.g.: a tv show)

To add a new event you first have to give it a name (1) and to enter the date when the event will occur by selecting it from the calendar or by entering it manually (2). You can also write a short note (3) about this event. The last thing you have to do is to set the alarm, number of days before the event you want to be notified.
If this is a recurring event, you have to select (5) the occurrence interval. The following options are available:

• weekly on the same day
• monthly on the same date
• yearly on the same date
• once every specified number of days
• once every specified number of weeks
• once every specified number of months

For the last 3 options you have to also select (6) the number of days/weeks/months.
