How do I create a new appointment?

There are multiple ways to add an appointment to your calendar: two which lend themselves best to quickly adding appointments which require few details and do not involve inviting other attendees, and another used when doing detailed event planning and inviting other attendees.

Quick Events

Highlight & Type: To add an event, simply highlight the desired block of time on your calendar, and type a description. If needed, you can add additional details or
invite attendees by right-clicking on the event and choosing “Edit Event”.

QuickAdd:
To add an event, simply type a description into the QuickAdd scheduling box. This convenient feature recognizes times, activities, days and dates, and schedules your event using a set of built-in rules of thumb. For example, if no time is specified, “lunch” is assumed to start at noon and last 1 hour. If needed, you can add additional details or invite
attendees by right-clicking on the event and choosing “Edit Event”.

Detailed Events

Right-Click Menu: To add an event, left-click on the desired date and start-time, right-click, and select “New Event”. An appointment screen will appear with the desired date and time. From there, enter the desired attendees (if any), location and description, as well as any reoccurances (as necessary)
