Create a Calendar Entry

You can create appointments, all-day events, reminders, anniversaries, and meeting invitations that display in your calendar.

For information on scheduling a meeting, see Schedule a Meeting and Send Invitations. For information on adding external calendar entries, see Add an External Calendar.

1. From your calendar click New, and then select the type of calendar entry you want to create.
2. Type a short description in the Subject field.
3. Depending on the entry type, specify the date, start time and end time (or duration).
4. (Optional) Do any of the following:
• Enter a location.
• Click the Repeat tab to repeat the entry, and then specify repeat options.
• Check Alarm and specify when you want to be notified.
• Click the time zone icon to select an alternate time zone for the start or end time (or both) of the entry.
• Check Mark Private to prevent people who have access to your calendar from reading the entry. People who can manage your calendar can see the times but not the contents of confidential entries.
• Check Mark Available to tentatively add the entry to your calendar, but keep the time period open in your free time schedule.
• Select or type a category name in the Categories field.
• Click Details and add notes about this entry.
• Click Attachments and attach files to this entry.
5. Click Save & Close, or click Save to save your work but continue making choices.

Note When you create an anniversary, by default the anniversary repeats in your calendar for 10 years.
