Adding a Reminder

Previous  Top  Next

Tablet Calendar allows you to add reminders (alarms) to any page. When a reminder exists for a specific day, the day label changes to red and has an asterisk next to it. Similar to alarms and reminders in other programs, a Reminder popup will appear when current time equals the reminder time. In addition, any reminders that have past from the last time Tablet Calendar was opened will be shown.



This tutorial shows you how to add a reminder to the first page of the Golf Tournament made from the last tutorial.

1.

Open Tablet Calendar by going to Start > Programs > Tablet Calendar.

2.

Use the scroll bar to scroll down to the last week of the following month.

3.

Click on the day that contains the Golf Tournament.

In this case September 25 is selected.

4.   Double-click on the selected date to open the Editor window.

The first page of the golf tournament opens up in the Editor.

5.   Click on the Clock Tool next to the NONE text.

This opens the Reminder dialog with the default date (i.e., September 25) and the current time.

6.   Click on a date two days before the currently selected date (i.e., September 23).

7.   Enter 5 PM.

As you write, the reminder time next to the Bell Icon automatically updates based on your written text. If the written text cannot be recognized as a time, then only the date appears. Reminders with only the date will occur at 12:00 AM.

8.   Click on Accept.

The Reminder dialog closes and the reminder date appears next to the Clock Tool. In addition, the Reminder Tool (Bell Icon) is active. If the reminder is on the same day that is shown in the Editor's caption, then the reminder time will be shown instead of the date. The reminder time will also be shown if the reminder date is the current date.

9.   Close the Editor.

When the current time reaches or passes the reminder time, then a notification window appears along with an audible chime. The notification window displays a thumbnail of the page along with its page number and date.
