Creating a one-time event
One-time event are events that will occur only once, not on an ongoing or regular basis (e.g., Lunch with Mike). When adding an event, fill in each field one by one as you move down the screen. It is best to move sequentially down the screen rather than to jump from field to field randomly.
Create a new one-time event
- Tap the Add Event button (plus sign).
- Start with the first field and enter relevant information as you move down the screen from top to bottom:
- Title
- Location
- Invitees
- All-day
- Starts/Ends Date & Time
- Alert
- Second Alert — Appears if an alert is set
- Custom Colors — Used to color-code like appointments, e.g., workouts (purple), school (blue), etc.
- Calendar
- Repeat — The default (i.e., None) is the correct response for a one-time event
- Availability — Default value is best
- URL
- Notes
- Contacts — Used to include relevant contact information within the appointment (e.g., phone number of restaurant, etc.)
- Tap Done to save the event.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: You use an alert to remind you of upcoming appointments, but still can’t get out of the house on time.
Solution: Set one alert for “start getting ready” and a second alert for “time to leave.”
