Tasks WindowThe Java Contactor stores tasks in a familiar calendar motif. It supports alarms, all-day events, anniversaries, appointments/events, tasks and meetings. Different instances of the Java Contactor can be merged using the “Export Database” and “Merge Database” menu items on the Database menu. Each task type has its own dialog for adding and modifying tasks. Managing Events

[Back to top | Main Help Page] Top ToolbarThe top toolbar in the Java Contactor calendar displays the currently selected date and provides navigation to go forward or backwards to other months. The buttons provide a way to go forward or backward one month or one year.
[Back to top | Main Help Page] CalendarThe Calendar provides a familiar motif for showing events. Events are shown in order of time and are attached to the day they belong to. The calendar shows the days for the currently selected month in a grid and the currently selected date is highlighted in green. When first showing the calendar, the currently selected day is the current day, and scrolling forwards or backwards rolls to the same date on the target month or year. So, if choosing Christmas day, 2006, then scrolling forward one year selects Christmas day, 2007 although Christmas is on a Sunday in 2006 and a Monday on 2007. If the currently selected date is March 31, 2006, then scrolling back one month selects February 28th, 2006 (February 31st does not exist). Double-clicking on a valid day for the current month pops up the “Add Task” dialog. Change the task type by selecting a new event type in the “Type” combo box. There are 6 different event types in the Java Contactor, Alarms, All Day Events, Anniversaries, Appointments, Meetings and Tasks. Each event type has different required fields. Some of the fields can be typed in, while other fields such as dates are entered using dialogs. The dialogs in the Java Contactor are the date dialog, the recurring dialog, the reminder dialog, the contacts dialog and the groups dialog. |
