Events are the basic entries in your calendars.
To create a new event in a calendar:
On the calendar toolbar select New -> Event...
Right-click on the calendar itself then select New Event....
However, by far the easier way is to draw a rectangular outline of your event by drag and drop your mouse on the calendar.
Type in a name for this event and press Enter to create a default one time event with only the time and name you have specified. To add more details double click on the newly created event to bring up the Event editor window.
The General tab is used to define all the basic configuration:
The subject of the event. This information will be displayed in the calendar window after the event is saved, therefore it should be as brief as possible.
Location of the event - for example: at work, at home, at school...
In the category drop-down menu, you can assign color-coded categories to the selected event. In the calendar's central view, events will be shown colored according to their categories designated here. In the case of multiple calendars, and each calendar is assigned its own category (see Using More Than One Calendar), the category's color will be shown in the event's heading (Except in a month view layout). For more details on Categories see About Categories.
Start time of the event. Consists of two fields, date and hour.
End time of the event.
If the date part of end time of a given event differs from its start time date, a multiple day event is created. These events are listed in the upper part of the schedule, under the all day events. This way they don't mess into the daily schedule.
You can select a type of your event - You can be busy or you can be free.
Reminder is a special function of the eM Client's interface, that allows reminding of events. If the reminder is set for an event, an alert is displayed at the defined time that informs of an upcoming event. The default value is No Reminder, but any different value can be selected from the drop-down list. To cancel the reminder, simply choose the No Reminder option in the event's dialog box.
In the all day event, the start and end time items are missing. This means that this event will be in progress over the entire day, but other events can be still planned for this day. The typical example is setting entire-day events like wedding anniversaries, symposiums, vacations, business trips, etc.
If you check Private event, this event will get a private status.
To any event it is possible to add a comment referring to various issues such as event details or lists of items related to the event.
The Recurrence tab is used to set recurring events which take place every given number of days, weeks or months.
In this tab you can set, how often will be the event recurred and when (if ever) will the recurrence terminate.
You can set frequency daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Frequency daily - In the pattern you set the number of days when event should recur,
Frequency weekly - In the pattern you can set the number of weeks when event should recur. You can also choose the days from
week.
Frequency monthly - In the pattern you set the number of months when event should recur. You can also set a day - you can set the number of day in month, or set for example "second Monday".
Frequency yearly - In the pattern you set the number of years when event should recur. You can set a date for event or set for example "second Monday of February".
You can set here when event should end. There are three opportunities:
No end date - The event will recur and never end.
End after X occurrences - You can set the number X. The event will not recur after X occurrences.
End by - You can set a date. The event will not recur after this date.
Once an Event has been created, you can send attendance requests to others through E-Mail.
In the All attendees list type in the list of potential attendees you wish to be invited to the event.
There are three types of requests that can be sent to each attendee: Required, Optional, and Resource. Each can be selected by clicking on the box next to the attendees' emails.
Each time you add a contact to your list of attendees, if you have the Freebusy URL for that contact setup (see relevant section in New Contact creation), then you can see the schedule of the attendee, which can help you organize the event.
A response to your request can be obtained from each attendee in the form of Accepted, Declined, or Tentative. which will also be displayed in this window next to each attendee's email address.
Once all the necessary details have been entered into the Event editor, click Save to finish editing. A prompt will appear asking you whether you wish to send invites to the attendees listed, click Send invite to close the editor and send invites.
Tip: Should you delete or make changes to your events after you have sent out your event invites, a notice of change/cancellation will be sent to each of the attendees accordingly.
Your invitee will receive an invite such as the one below in their email, they can send you a reply by clicking on either Accept, Tentative, or Decline respectively, which will show up in your Event window.
Tip: if you have a Google account setup on eM Client, your Google Calendar will be automatically synchronized to your eM Client Calendar.
