The Edit Event window opens.

The calendar showing in the pull-down menu will be the organizer of the event. In addition, the selection you make here in the Calendar pull-down menu will be reflected in the Current Calendar pull-down menu on the View tab. That is, the calendar you select will be displayed in your main view after you finish creating this event.

This event will be placed on the new calendar instead of the one currently being displayed in your main view.

The title identifies the event in your calendar. If you leave the title blank, the words Untitled Event will appear on your calendar as the default title.

You can use the Jump To icon located to the right of the Date input box to help you locate an appropriate date. For instructions, see Using the Jump To icon.

If you are inviting others to the event, you can wait until you have added all the attendees, and checked their availability, before finalizing the time and date. See Step 14 for instructions on how to check availability.

The system changes the start time to be 12:00 am and the duration to be 23 hours 59 minutes. (For a 24-hour clock, the time would be 00:00.)

Select the All Day checkbox if you want to create an all-day event, such as a birthday, holiday or vacation day. All-day events don't create conflicts with timed events for that day because they are not used to calculate availability.

If you want this all-day event to be used in calculating conflicts and availability, do not select the All Day checkbox. Instead, just use a large time range for the event, such as 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Use this method to schedule an event that spans more than one day, or one that occurs on a regular basis.

The Recurrence window opens. When you have set the desired repeats, click OK to close the window. For instructions on recurrence, see Scheduling repeating events and tasks.

• To use the input box, do the following:
  1. Enter a user ID, a calendar ID, or an e-mail address in the User input box. You can enter more than one at a time by separating them with semi-colons. Click Search if you don't know the exact user ID, calendar ID, or e-mail address. For instructions on using the User Search tool, see Searching for users.
  2. Click Invite.
  3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until you have constructed the entire list of attendees.
• To use Quick Invite, do the following:
  1. Click the Quick Invite pull-down menu to reveal a list of calendars and sets.
  2. Click the calendar or set you want to invite.

     If you choose a set, all members of the set are added to your attendee list. For users with both an Invite list and an Inform list, the attendees will be added to the Invite list only.

     Note: While all members of the set are invited to the event, the event itself is added only to the first calendar listed in the drop-down box on the Calendars tab.

For more instructions on how to invite, see Inviting attendees.

1. Select the Remind checkbox.
2. Enter one or more e-mail addresses separated by either a comma (,) or a semi-colon (;).
3. Choose either a relative or an absolute reminder by clicking the appropriate circle, and then setting the time to send the reminder.
4. (Optional) Enter a message for the reminder e-mail into the Message input box.

Note: The settings you make here will override the reminder settings found in the Options tab. If you do not set a reminder for this event, the reminder settings found in your Options tab will be used.

For more detailed instructions, see Setting reminders for events and tasks.

For instructions on how to use the Availability tab to help you find an open time for all attendees, see Using the Availability tab for scheduling events.

The Edit Event window closes and the event is added to the appropriate calendars.

On the calendars, the Quick Delete icon, a red "X" inside a circle, appears next to the event title. Clicking this icon causes the event to be deleted after you verify the request. For further instructions on using the Quick Delete icon, see Deleting an event.
