Working with Events
You schedule timed events and all-day events in personal or group calendars. If you’re
viewing your personal calendar, you can invite other people to your events.
Creating, Editing and Deleting Events
Timed events, such as meetings and appointments, take place during a specified
period of time. You can create timed events in day view, week view, or month view,
but they’re easier to create in week view.
All-day events are events that take an unspecified amount of time. They don’t
necessarily take all day, and are often used as reminders (for example when to pay a
bill). You can create all-day events in week view or month view.
To create an event:
1 While viewing a personal or group calendar, select a calendar.
The event is created in the selected calendar.
2 To create a timed event in day view or week view, drag from the start time to the end
time of the event.
To create an all-day event in week view, drag from the start date to the end date in the
All Day area. If you’re in month view, drag from the start date to the end date. If you’re
scheduling a single-day all-day event, click the day instead of dragging.
3 Change event details, invitees, or notes.
To edit an event:
1 Click the event.
If the event details show “Invitation from,” you’re viewing an invitation, which can’t be
edited.
2 Change event details, invitees, or notes.
To delete an event:
1 While viewing a personal or group calendar, click an event.
2 Click Delete and then click OK.
For more information about changing event details, invitees, or notes, see the
following topics.
Sending, Viewing, and Accepting or Rejecting Invitations
You can send and receive event invitations while viewing your personal calendar.
When you send an invitation, invitees are notified and can accept, tentatively accept
(set status to “maybe”), or decline the invitation. If you update the event, invitees are
notified of the change and can change the status of the event to accept, tentatively
accept, or decline the changed event.
