4.3 - The when view

The when view is used to determine when an event will be delivered, whether the event will repeat itself, and how often it will repeat itself.

Annual repetition of the event on a particular date is shown here. The system for determining when events are delivered is very flexible, with twelve different modes for determining the timing and repetition interval of events (annually, monthly, weekly, daily, multiples of each of the above, one time nonrepeating, weekdays, weekends, and subdaily). Furthermore, events can be delivered by date, by day of the month, and by day of the week, including combinations like the last Friday in February. There are too many combinations to describe in detail, but they are very intuitive and self explanatory.

The use time box: Some events, like appointments occur at a specific time of the day. However, for things like birthdays, you wouldn't want to turn on your computer at noon, only to be told that a birthday which is today was "missed" because the event occurred at midnight, when the day began. If the use time of day box is unchecked, that tells Scheduler that the time of day is unimportant. When setting the date of an event by typing into a text box, if you want to use the time of day, you can enter the date and time, and the use time of day box will automatically be checked for you.
