Recurrent Appointments
Appointments that are repeated on a regular basis need only be entered once. Before
saving the appointment, just press Ctrl+r and you will get a new line on the appointment
screen (above the subject line:
Period : weekly
Press d for daily; w for weekly; m for monthly, and y for yearly events. As birthday
parties typically happen once a year, you would write "y".
Please note that recurrent appointments appear only once in the appointment list, but
they do appear in daily, weekly monthly and yearly lists. If you set an alarm, ELba will
remind you every time the alarm is due.
In our example, the yearly event will appear as follows:
Jun Tue 17 2003 06:00pm ay Peter's birthday party
The "ay" after the time and before the subject stands for "alarm, yearly".
