Tips & Tricks
TIP: Setting a Reminder for Multiple Consecutive Days
Summer is vacation time, and you want to mark it on your calendar in The Journal. Here’s how you do that:
1. Click on the “New Event” command on the toolbar (or on the Tools menu, New Reminder sub-menu).
2. Name the reminder something exciting, like, “Vacation 2014!”
3. Un-check the “Time” option, because your vacation is an all-day event.
4. Click on the “Advanced” tab, then the “Date/Time” sub-tab.
5. Under “Date”, check the “Every” option, then choose “Day” from the list.
6. Then, under “This Happens”, check “Effective Date” and set to the first day of your vacation.
7. Check “to”, then set the last day of your vacation.
Save the reminder and you will see its icon repeated across all the days of your vacation.
