The Calendar!
The calendar lists the month and year, and highlights the current date.
Clicking on a day brings you to a listing for that day, broken down by
the hour. It is a great scheduling guide to help anyone who needs to keep
track of his or her increasingly hectic life. You can jump around from
month to month, making it possible to plan things out in advance (even
going several years ahead).
Navigation
Each day on the calendar
is clickable. When clicked on, it brings you to a chart containing all
of the hours in the day. These individual hours are also clickable, bringing
you to a form where you can enter in any items or events that you would
like displayed in your calendar for that date and time. When items/events
are included for any given day, you will be able to tell from the main
calendar page. Next to the numbered day on the calendar, a link called
"events" will appear if something is listed. It will also note how many
events are listed for any given day (i.e. the link will be "2 events" if there are two items).
The [Edit] buttons
will always be present, and after you’ve added a piece of content, you
can use that button to edit the content (i.e. correct spelling, change
the name of the picture, etc).
Adding an Event
As mentioned above,
clicking on a day of the month brings you to an hourly breakdown of
the day in question. Clicking on any of the hourly blocks listed down
the left side of the page will bring you to the "Add An Event" page.
The "Add An Event" page is broken down into several components:
A) Title - The title
will appear next to the time in the hourly block, so it should be descriptive
enough to act as a short reminder of what the event is.
B) Date - This is
filled by default with the date that you have selected. The power of this
function is that if an event is to be rescheduled, it is not necessary
to delete it, navigate to the new date, and re-enter the item. You can
simply edit the original date, and the program will take care of moving
the item to the new date.
C) Time - This represents
the scheduled time of the event. As with the date (above), the time can
be edited easily if the event is
rescheduled and the program will take
care of moving the item to the proper date and time.
D) Description - The
title gives you a quick reminder of what the event is, but the description
area allows you to enter detailed information on what is involved with
a particular item. You can leave notes on the person you're meeting, directions
to a location, a reminder of what to bring, etc.
Deleting Entries
If something gets
cancelled, or you want to delete an entry for some other reason, it is
quite simple to do so. Once an event is added, it appears in the hourly
breakdown of the given day. Next to it, there will be a check box. To
delete an entry, you can put a checkmark in the checkbox next to the event
in question. Next, you must only click the [Delete] button at the bottom
of the page. This will remove the entry.
