Edit Events

Resizing and moving events

All events blocks can be moved to a different time by Drag & Droping them. All Events can be moved and rescheduled in this simple way in all view layouts available in eM Calendar.

To change the duration of an event, in the day or week view, move the pointer to the upper or lower area of an event box and when the pointer changes to a double headed arrow, left click and resize the box as necessary.

When drag & dropping events, remember you can only change the events by the time unit specified in the granularity option in the calendar's toolbar. You can't resize/move events by smaller time units than the specified units.

Deleting events

To delete an event, select the Delete option from its context menu, or simply clicking on the event box and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

You can also Copy, Cut and Paste events like you would do with texts, with the standard Ctrl+c (Copy), Ctrl+x (Cut) and Ctrl+v (Paste) hotkeys.

Event notifications

For important events, you can set reminders that will regularly send you alerts as the event approaches.

To setup a reminder, open the Event Editor window of a specific event (see working with events), in the General tab enter the amount of time ahead of the event you wish to start receiving notification alerts in the Reminder: field. The default value is No Reminder, which means you will not receive any alerts before the upcoming event. To set a reminder, click on the drop-down list and select a time amount from 5 minutes to 2 days ahead of the event to start receiving reminders.

The event reminder is displayed in an alert window that includes a list of all upcoming events. Each row contains the subject of the specific event (task) and time left to the start of the event.

This alert window offers you several ways to interact with the notification system and the event(s) themselves:

Open Item

Click the button to open the event's create-and-edit dialog window.

Dismiss (All)

Click the Dismiss all/Dismiss buttons to dismiss the selected reminder or all displayed reminders, which means reminder alerts will no longer be displayed for the selected events with the exception of repeated events.

Snooze (All)

Snooze works much like the same button on an alarm clock. Click Snooze or Snooze All to temporarily dismiss the alert. But more alert windows will continue to be displayed at the time interval specified in the Snooze Time drop-down list.

Tip: you can also manually disable event reminders by opening up the Event Editor window and setting the Reminder field to its default No Reminder.

Warning: The reminder window is active only when eM Client is running.
