How to use StarSchedule

Find here an introduction about how to use StarSchedule locally and on the net. The possible commands for the "Event Overview", "Tasks" and "Calendar" windows are described additionally in alphabetical order. For further information refer to the User's Manual, in the Introduction as well as in the User's Chapter.

Printing in StarSchedule

You will find here a detailed description to help you print your events and tasks. An AutoPilot will assist you by the creation of your own print layouts.

If you want to print your events and tasks formatted, you have access to practical print templates. If you print with the Print icon in the function bar, the suitable print template will be used.

The print template used depends upon the view. When selecting the day view in the event calendar, for example, a day view will be printed. If you prefer to use another print template, you can select one from the list:

Select in the event view the Filerespectivement File(dépendant du système d'exploitation) - Print... command and click in the Print dialog the Options button. A list of print forms will now appear. Select a print form and an event range and close the dialog. In the Print dialog click the OK button.

If you select in the task view the Print dialog and click "Extras", you will see the appropriate list of task print forms.

In addition, the AutoPilot Report can be helpful if you decide to create your own print template.

To open the AutoPilot in StarSchedule go to menu Filerespectivement File(dépendant du système d'exploitation) - Print... and click the Options button and, in the Print Form dialog click on New Form.

	When printing for the first time in StarSchedule, the print templates have to be calculated first. You can then be sure that the defaults in your operating system (language, date format, etc.) will be considered. Please have some patience when printing for the first time.

You can edit the form with your data before printing if you select in the Print Form dialog the Print Preview field. A StarWriter document can then be created to correspond to your needs.

StarSchedule has so much to offer!

StarSchedule is the StarOffice module that's perfectly assisting you in planning your Appointments, events and tasks. In addition, you can use the integrated calendar to - among many other features - that allows to highlight events and to display week numbers.

You can use StarSchedule locally, i.e., in stand-alone mode limited to your computer, or you can benefit form the scheduler's server facilities in a network. In this case, the computer providing the scheduler server must run both StarOffice and StarSchedule at any time. Thus you can manage the appointments and tasks of your workgroup from your machine and your staff can see yours. However, you can control the visibility and access with the settings you specify under Details, e.g., by assigning the Public, Confidential, Private attribute to an event or task thus determining whether all (Public), or only your designates (Private) can see them. The Confidential attribute is slightly different: here only starting and ending time can bee seen, nothing else.

You can determine who will be your designate(s) thus enabling them to view, create, edit, delete and write all your appointments or events

Events Overview

You can display events sorted by time in a daily, weekly or monthly view. Or the entire workweek can be shown. You can even create events for a specific day without specifying a time value.

For a given event you can enter a number of characteristics such as further details, priority, location or a confidential or the private attribute to prevent other team members from viewing your personal event. A Recurrence attribute is also provided. In this case, StarSchedule automatically repeats the event entry (a specified number of / ) several times in your calendar.

Managing 'timeless' tasks

You can enter your tasks in a separate section of StarSchedule's work area. They can be sorted alphabetically by categories, priority, or other criteria and you can determine by simple mouse click that the task is completely done now. You can set filters to only see the overdue tasks for instance, or you can define your own filter criteria.

Details can also be set for tasks.

Synchronize

With StarSchedule, you can synchronize your scheduler data with the 3Com Robotics PalmPilot's data.
