Once
you set up a calendar account on your phone, entering a new appointment
is fairly painless. Most of the boxes in the new appointment form are
self-explanatory. Whatever changes you make on your phone show up on
your web-based or Outlook work calendar and vice versa.
1. Create an Event
On the Start screen, tap Calendar.
Tap New.
Tap a box to fill in any of the following:
Tap Subject to enter the purpose of the event or meeting.
Tap Location to indicate where it takes place.
Tap Account to choose which calendar to add the event to.
Tap When to specify the date and time.
Tap How Long to specify the time span or to make the entry an all-day or multiday event.
Tap More Details for other options, and then do the following:
Tap Status to show a time on your calendar as free, tentative, busy, or out of office.
Tap Reminder to have Windows Phone alert you of a pending appointment.
Tap Occurs to create a recurring event or appointment.
Tap Private to make the appointment details visible only to you (handy for surprise parties or stealth job interviews).
When you finish, tap Save.
| When you see this | It means |
|---|
|
| You haven’t accepted the meeting request or have only tentatively accepted. |
|
| You’ve agreed to attend this meeting, and the time is marked as busy on your calendar. |
|
| A time slot is free. |
|
| In Agenda view, identifies a meeting conflict, or two appointments scheduled at the same time. |
Tip:
You can also create a new appointment by tapping an empty time slot in Day view.
Tip:
If you’re going on
vacation, tap Custom under How Long to block off your calendar between
specific dates. All-day appointments show up at the top of the calendar.
