Figure 4.4 The Kontact Calendar
4.4.1 Scheduling an Event
Add a new event or meeting with Actions > New Event. Enter the desired details. Under
Reminder, specify the exact time (minutes, hours, or days in advance) when the attendees
should be reminded of the event. If an event recurs, specify the appropriate interval.
Another way to create an event at a specific point in the calendar is to double-click the
corresponding field in one of the program's calendar views. This opens the same dialog
window as that available from the menu. Alternatively, select a time range in the Cal-
endar view and right-click.
Specify the attendees of an event by entering their data manually in the dialog or by
inserting data from the address book. To enter data manually, select New. To import
data from the address book, click Select Addressee then select the corresponding entries
from the dialog. To schedule the event based on the participants' availability, go to
Free/Busy and click Pick Date.
Use the Recurrence tab to configure an event that happens on a regular basis. Attach-
ments can be convenient for linking other information with the event, such as an agenda
for a meeting.
