4 - The event window

The event window displays much more detailed information about an event than can be shown in the event set window, and allows you to edit events.

Title tab: The title tab indicates that this is an even associated with a particular event set, the name of which is shown in parenthesis. In this case, this event belongs to the event set called Personal.

Name: Text box to allow you to set the name of this event.

Actual event time: When the event actually occurs. As you can see, my grandma's birthday is on May 19. You can send her a gift too if you want, I'm sure she'd like that. :)

Next message time: The time when the next message will be delivered, be it for prewarning, the event itself, or nagging after the event. In this case, the next message will be a prewarning message.

Status: The status of the event, whether it is waiting for prewarning, the event, or a nagging message, or in the case of one time non-repeating events, it may indicate that it is done with the event.

Active: This checkbox allows events to be inactivated such that they will not deliver events until the event is activated again.

Icon box: The icon used to represent an event can be set by you. You can drop a file onto the icon box, in which case the icon will be set to match the file. Alternatively, you can drop an icon from the file types preferences application or tracker add-on. By double clicking on the icon box, you can also bring up an icon panel of the built-in icons that Scheduler provides. By clicking-and-holding, or by right-clicking, you get a menu which allows you to select an icon.

Comment view: The comment view simply provides a scratch pad to write down any notes that you wish to make about the event.
