In-Depth Information
To enter an all-day milestone (such as a birthday), tap the All-Day switch
to turn it on. (Green will be showing.) Because the time is no longer relevant for an all-day
entry, you won't see Starts, Ends, or Time Zone options.
5. Tap Done when you're finished.
Because your iPad mini comes equipped with Siri, we can't think of any easier way to
add an entry. You can instruct Siri along the lines of “Set a lunch appointment for tomorrow
at noon with the Smiths.” Siri is pleased to comply.
That's the minimum you have to do to set up an event. But we bet you want to do more. The Calen-
dar app makes it easy:
Change the time zone. If the correct location isn't already present, tap the Time Zone field
and type the name of the city where the appointment is taking place.
Set up a recurring entry. Tap the Repeat field. Tap to indicate how often the event in ques-
tion recurs. This setting is good for everything from a weekly appointment, such as an allergy
shot, to a yearly event, such as an anniversary.
The options are Every Day, Every Week, Every 2 Weeks, Every Month, and Every Year. Tap
Never if you are planning to never repeat this entry again.
Invite people to join you. Tap Invitees to specify who among your Contacts will be attending
the event.
Set a reminder or alert for the entry. Tap Alert and tap a time.
Alerts can be set to arrive at the actual time of an event, or 1 week before, 2 days before, 1
day before, 2 hours before, 1 hour before, 30 minutes before, 15 minutes before, or 5 minutes
before the event. If it's an all-day entry, you can request alerts 1 day before (at 9 AM), 2 days
before (at 9AM), or 1 week before.
When the appointment time rolls around, you hear a sound and see a message like the one
shown in Figure 12-8 .
