Event Properties

This dialog is divided into two tabs, General and Repeat.

General

This tab is used to set the general characteristics of the event.

Enter a description of the event, e.g. 'Meeting with Eirik'. Enter the Location. The Start Date and Start Time are set to the date and time that were clicked; change these if required. The End Date and End Time default to one hour later on the same day; again, change these as required.

If the event will occupy the whole day, check the 'All Day' checkbox.

If an alarm is required, check the 'Alarm' checkbox, then enter the number of minutes, hours or days before the event that the alarm should go off.

Enter any related notes in the 'Notes' section.

If the event is a recurrent event, e.g. a weekly meeting or an anniversary, click the Repeat tab and complete the repetition details.

Repeat

This tab is used to make the event a repeating event.

Choose the frequency of the repetition by clicking 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthly' or 'Yearly'.

Each frequency has different options. For 'Daily', choose how many days between each repeat (the default is 1, i.e. every day). For 'Weekly', choose how many weeks between each repeat, and check each day that the repeat should occur on in the week. For 'Monthly', choose how many months between each repeat, then choose to repeat on the same 'Day' of the month, or the same 'Date' in the month (based on the day or date of the event). For 'Yearly', choose how many years between each repeat.

If the repeats have an end date, check the 'End date' checkbox, then set the end date.

Click OK to save the changes and leave the dialog.
