   Add details to your event or task

   .

   You can add information to your event or task to make them more detailed.

   

   Keep your events detailed by supplying the appropriate details on the right tabs. The following details are available to be filled in:

   • Title - Tap on the field to enter a title to your event. If possible try to make the title short but detailed enough to have a full view of the title at a single glance. (i.e. use "Eddy's 30th Birthday" instead of "30th Birthday Celebration of Eddie Peregrina").
   • Color of event - Tap on the colored square beside the title to change the color of the event. Colors of events help you categorize events by color-coding them. Depending on your preference, you may put work-related events in Red, home-related events in Yellow, and any event with your special someone in Green. You might also color-code them by importance. The important thing is, just by looking at the color of the event, you will know what type of event is coming up.
   • All Day check box - putting a check mark in this box will set the event to occur the whole day. If the event is only a one-hour event or so, then make sure that you uncheck this box.
   • From/To - These fields allow you to set the event to more than a day. Tap on the "From" field and enter the start date of the event, then tap on the "To" field and enter the end date of the event.
   • Time - This field is inaccessible when the "All day" option has been checked. This field will allow you to add start time and end time of the event.

     • My Calendar - allows you to save the event or task on the phone's internal memory. The saved event or task will not show on any online account that you have.
     • Samsung Calendar - This allows you to save the event or task to your phone and to your Samsung account. This will allow you to have access and view the event or task using other devices through your Samsung account.
     • Google/Gmail - allows you to save the event or task to your phone and to your Google account. This will allow you to have access and to view the event or task using other devices through your Google account.

     • One-Time Event - The event will not be repeated, it is a one-time event that is not expected to happen again, or an event that may happen again but you have no definite schedule yet. An example of a one-time event is when you are meeting up a friend from abroad.
     • Daily - The event will recur daily on the dates that you choose. An example of a daily event is if you are attending a 5-day seminar.
     • Weekly - The event will recur weekly on the dates that you choose. An example of a weekly event is the Sunday gym workout schedule that you have planned for the next three months, or a dance class every Tuesday at 8pm.

     • Monthly - The event will recur monthly on the dates that you choose. An example of a monthly event is when you are scheduled to go to your doctor every 5th of the month for the next two years for your monthly throat checkup.
     • Yearly - The event will recur yearly on the date that you choose. An example of a yearly event are anniversaries and birthdays, as these events happen once a year and on the same dates.
