Tips for using floating events:
■ To prioritize floating events, enter a number followed by a space or dash as the first few
characters of the description.
■ To convert an existing event to a floating event, select the event, tap Details and select Float
as the Type.
■ When you complete a repeating floating event, it marks only the current occurrence of the
event as complete.
■ Avoid scheduling a floating event that repeats daily. These events can accumulate quickly
unless you complete them each day.
■ When viewing a floating event in a desktop application, the Note field will contain a series of
characters: ##f@@@@@@ for an incomplete event and ##c@@@@@@ for a complete
event. Do not remove or edit these characters.
