Manage Your Schedule

|
====================
|
|
|
|
All functions to maintain your events are accessible from the main calendar view.

|
|
Add Events to a Calendar
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Via toolbar**
|
|
Click the *New event* button in the toolbar to get an empty dialog where you enter
|
|
the event properties such as summary, date/time, reminders, etc. Click *Save* to finally
|
|
add it to the selected calendar.
|
|
|
|
**At a specific date/time**
|
|
Navigate the calendar view to the date you want to add an event for. Then mark the range
|
|
of time (or dates in month view) with the mouse by pressing the button at the time the event
|
|
should start and releasing it again at time it finishes. This will open the event dialog
|
|
with the selected time/date range already filled it.
|
|
|
|
In order to create new all-day events, double-click the desired day in the calendar view.

Edit and Reschedule Events
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Event Dialog
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When clicking an event in the calendar view, a dialog showing its details is displayed.
|
|
Clicking the *Edit* button in that dialog opens the form to edit all properties of the selected event.
|
|
|
|
The edit form is divided into different section which can be switched using the tabs on top
|
|
of the dialog.
|
|
|
|
**Summary**
|
|
|
|
This general section has text fields and selectors for various properties of an event.
|
|
This is where you adjust the displayed summary, date/time/duration as well as reminder
|
|
notifications and category assignments.
|
|
|
|
The *Calendar* selector allows you to move an event from one calendar to another.
|
|
|
|
**Recurrence**
|
|
|
|
For periodically recurring event series, this tabs has the settings how an event is repeated
|
|
over time. Start with selecting a repetition interval (e.g. monthly). Depending on that interval
|
|
the for below offers more options to further refine the rules how the event is repeated and for how long.
|
|
|
|
**Participants**
|
|
|
|
An important part of managing your schedule is to invite others to events and track their RSVP.
|
|
In this part of the edit dialog you can manage the participants of an event. Read more about this
|
|
further down in the :ref:`calendar-event-participants` section.
|
|
|
|
**Participants**
|
|
|
|
Sometimes a description text isn't enough to collect information for a specific event.
|
|
Switch to this tab to attach files to the current event or to remove them again. Adding
|
|
files works pretty much the same as :ref:`attaching them to email messages <mail-compose-attachments>`:
|
|
first select a file from your local disk and click *Upload* in order to attach it.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Don't forget to finally save the changes by clicking *Save* in the event edit dialog.
|
|
Even switching back and forth the tabs will not yet save the data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moving and Resizing with the Mouse
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|

|
|
|
|
If an existing event shall be rescheduled to another time or date, you'll find it handy
|
|
to do that directly in the calendar view without opening the edit form. Simply grab the event
|
|
block with the mouse and move it to the new date or time. Release the mouse button to complete.
|
|
|
|
In *Month* and *Day* view, the event blocks have a small handle at the bottom. Drag this with the
|
|
mouse in order to resize the event meaning to adjust its duration.
