| + | |||
| + | In this tab, you define the contents of the appointment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Type == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Orage can handle three types of appointments: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Event is something that happens sometimes. It has start and end time. This is the most common appointment type and you actually can handle all cases with this, since it also is the most flexible type. So if you are not sure what type to choose, Event is your best bet. Events either reserve your time (Availability=Busy) or are free which means this event does not take time from your schedule. | ||
| + | * Todo is some action that you need to complete. It usually has a start time and due time when it has to be finished. It has no end time, which is replaced by the due time. You can also use duration similarly than with events. Todos have no availability, | ||
| + | * Journals are just notes. They do not have end times nor availability. It is not possible to add alarm or recurrency for journals. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Title == | ||
| + | |||
| + | The title of the appointment. It appears in the event list and also in the alarm window and is listed at the header of this window. It should be a rather short summary of the appointment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Location (Event and Todo) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | This field should describe where the event happens. It can be for example Home or Office or Paris depending on what kind of appointment you have. It is also possible to leave it empty. Orage is not using it in any special way, nor is it visible anywhere else than here. Journals do not have location. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == All day event == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Selecting this checkbox causes so called whole day appointment to be defined. These do not have start nor end time defined, but it is possible that the event lasts several days. Start time is assumed to be the beginning of the day at 00:00 and end date at the last day at 24:00. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Start == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Defines the start time of the appointment. First, press the date button and choose the date from the calendar. After that you set the hour and minute using either your mouse wheel or clicking the small arrows. It is also possible to type the numbers directly to the fields. Hours go from 0 to 23 (24 is not allowed value). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The last button is timezone. Default value for new appointments is your current timezone, which you have set in the preferences. It is recommended to use real timezones instead of floating. You should not mix floating with real timezones although it is possible. Floating means that time is not bound to any timezone, but varies according to current settings. Modifying either the default timezone or start timezone may cause floating values to change. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == End (Event) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Similar to Start, but defines naturally the ending time. Note that start and end timezones may be different (for example when you schedule a meeting in abroad you can set the starting time in your local timezone and the rest of the timings in the destination timezone). [[#The event list window|Event list window]] always shows times in your local time. Only events have end time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Due (Todo) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Similar to End, but defines the time where the todo should be completed. Only todos have due time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Duration (Event and Todo) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Often it is easier to set the appointment duration instead of ending (or due) time. You can do that by marking the first box here. It is not possible to have both end/due time and duration at the same time, so end/due time setting will be unavailable after you select duration. Maximum duration is 1000 days, which is almost three years. Note that although the minute selection jumps 5 minutes at a time, you can manually enter any number. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Availability (Event) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | What kind of reservation is this. There are two possibilities: | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Completed (Todo) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | By selecting the Done box you mark this todo as done. The completed time can then be set. Format is similar to other times (like Start). Only todos have completed time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Categories == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Free format text, which you can use to categorize your appointment. It is also possible to create a list of categories and associate those to colours. You can then pick one of those and get your appointment to be shown with that colour in the event list window. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Priority == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Priority of the appointment. Orage is not using this, so treat it just like a comment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | == Note == | ||
| + | Free format text, where you can and should explain more the appointment. It is shown in the alarm window. Scrollbars appear when needed. | ||
| === The alarm tab === | === The alarm tab === | ||
| Line 219: | Line 282: | ||
| {{ : | {{ : | ||
| </ | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | In this tab, you define the alarm for the appointment. Orage supports three kinds of alarms: window, sound and procedure, but they all happen at the same time. It is possible to define only one alarm time for each appointment. To cause an alarm you need to do two things: You have to define alarm time and select alarm type. By default alarm happens 5 minutes before the appointment start time. Default alarm is Orage window without sound. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Alarm time is set if any of the alarm timing numbers is non zero (in other words there is no special flag to set alarm; just define the time for it. This also prevents setting alarm to happen exactly at the appointment start/end time). You need explicitly select each alarm type by crossing the Use box. If you do not choose any alarm types, the alarm does not happen. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Alarm time == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Define how much earlier or later the alarm happens. If all numbers are zero, no alarm is raised for this appointment. The last field defines what these alarm offset numbers mean. You can define alarm to happen based on start or end time of the appointment and also if it happens after or before the time. Default is to alarm before the start time of the appointment. But specially for todos it is often more usefull to raise alarm before the due (=end) time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Persistent alarm == | ||
| + | |||
| + | When Orage is not running (for example if your computer is shutdown) alarms can't happen. If you want to get reminders after Orage starts again, you need to set the alarm as persistent. By default alarms are just lost. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Sound == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Define the sound file to be played when the alarm fires. Leaving this empty disables sound alarm. Remember to define the actual play command in the preferences dialog. You should also test that your system can play the filetype you choose there. Simply start a terminal and test it using the command you specified and the sound file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | By default alarm sound is played only once, but you can make it repeated by choosing the box next line. You can also define how many time it is repeated and what is the interval. Be carefull to set the interval longer than the length of the sound since Orage does not wait for the previous sound to end before starting the next sound after the interval. Note that there is a silence button in visual alarms, so that you can stop the noise, but that only prevents the next play to happen, it does not interrupt currently playing alarm, which you should remember when using long lasting soundfiles. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Visual == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Orage can show two kinds of internal visual alarms. Orage window is a small alarm window showing the heading and note text. Notification is more fancy notification using libnotify. You need to have libnotify installed before you can define notification kind of visual alarm. '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Procedure == | ||
| + | |||
| + | This makes it possible to use external alarms. You can run any operating system command or script. Common use for this is sending email. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Execute == | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can test your alarm by pressing this. It raises the alarms immediately so that you can listen the sounds and see the windows. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Default alarm == | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can either set alarm back to default options or you can store current settings to be default alarm for all new appointments. There is only one default alarm, which applies to all appointments. | ||
| === The recurrence tab === | === The recurrence tab === | ||
| Line 225: | Line 322: | ||
| {{ : | {{ : | ||
| </ | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | In this tab you can define repeating appointments. Often it makes sense that the same appointment happens every day or every month instead of creating a new appointment for each event. Note that Orage does not support exclusion day ranges (like you would like to skip holiday period from you work related appointments), | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Complexity == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Default is Basic and that makes it possible to define frequency and limit of the appointment only. Often that is enough and these settings are very easy and fast to do even if you are not familiar with calendars and alarms. Selecting Advanced gives you more possibilities and makes it possible to build complex recurrent appointments like for example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. | ||
| + | * Last Tuesday on every second month. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Frequency == | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is the base repeating period. Default is no repeat (=None) and other possibilities are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The next selection makes it possible to easily skip some periods. Default value is 1 and it means every time as specified in the Frequency selection. 2 means every second time and 3 every third time etc. For example if you want to schedule your meeting to happen every third week, select Frequency = Weekly and set Interval to 3. (Starting time is selected in the [[#The general tab|General tab]] and next event happens exactly 3 weeks from that.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Limit == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Orage allows you also to limit the repeating count: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Repeat forever: this is default and does not limit the number of occurrences at all. | ||
| + | * Repeat n times: the appointment is scheduled exactly n times. After that it ends (but is not removed). | ||
| + | * Repeat until date: you can select the last date when this event happens. Note that it still happens normally during this date. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Weekdays (Advanced) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Default is that all days are checked, which means that the event happens normally every day. By removing any check, you prevent the appointment to happen on that day. In other words, your appointment only happens on checked weekdays. The most natural usage of this is to use it with Frequency = Daily. You may want to have a chat meeting for example each Monday and Wednesday. You can do this by selecting Frequency = Daily and by checking only Weekdays Mon and Wed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Selecting Weekly or Monthly actually causes the same thing. Deselecting any weekday for weekly or monthly or yearly repeating appointments causes all the remaining weekdays to become selected even though the original repeating selection only selects one day from the period. This is needed so that it is possible to schedule for example a meeting to happen every second week on Tuesday and Friday (Frequency = weekly, Interval = 2, Weekdays = Tue and Fri). | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Which day (Advanced) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | This setting can only be used for monthly and yearly repeating events. It can be used to select which weekday from the month or year is selected. For example if you want to schedule your meeting to happen on the first Tuesday of every month, you can first select Frequency = Monthly and then check only Tuesday from Weekdays and finally set this "which day" number to be 1 (choose the number located below Tuesday). Negative numbers count backwards starting from the end of period and zero means that this setting is not used. Frequency = Yearly, weekdays = Thursday only clicked and which say = -2 means second last Thursday of the year. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Exceptions == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here is list of exception times. **-** sign at the end of the row means exclusion where the appointment does not happen even though it was included in the repeat set. **+** sign means it is extra time to do the appointment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can remove the exception by double clicking it in the listing window. You can add new exception by first selecting the type (either excluded or included times) and then double clicking a day in one of the calendars below. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (Note that even though excluded time should be date, it can be shown as time in some systems. This is a way to workaround a bug where some calendar backend systems are not able to handle full date exclusions properly.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Action dates == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Three small helper calendars, which show when the appointment will happen next. They show real time data, which is not stored in the system until you press save button. | ||

| ===== The exchange data window ===== | ===== The exchange data window ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The exchange data window is used to control physical files of Orage. It is possible to import files having calendar data or just use those files as they are (foreign). It is also possible to export appointments from Orage to operating system files and change the names of Orage data files. | ||

After you have the file name in place, press Save and Orage reads the contents in. After the file has been imported, those appointments are part of Orage and can't be differentiated or put back into the file. |
| + | |||
| + | You can also import foreign files from the operating system using command line. This feature can be used to import ical files directly from the web by telling the browser (like Firefox) that the action is to start Orage. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Export == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enter the name of the file where you want Orage to write appointments. You can choose either all appointments or just a list of ids. Pressing save causes the appointments to be read and written to the external file. (The appointments are are not deleted from Orage but are kept in it also.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Archive == | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can either revert all archived appointments back to the main Orage file or force archiving. It is good idea to revert archive if you do exports since export does not look data from archive file. | ||

| + | It is possible to relocate and rename both active Orage file and the passive archive file. Pressing save does the actual action. There are 3 options for these actions: | ||
| + | * Rename: the safest choice. It only updates the file name in Orage internal structures. It does not touch operating system files at all. The new file has to exist before this operation can be done. First copy the file in you operating system and then you can change the name. | ||
| + | * Copy: another safe choice. File is copied first into the new place followed by the internal rename described above. | ||
| + | * Move: File is moved first into the new place followed by the internal rename described above. Note that the original file does not exist in the original place anymore after this change. | ||

| + | Orage can include and maintain other than its main data file. It is possible to add (and remove) so called foreign files. They behave similarly than base data file, but they remain isolated, so that it is easy to move them back to the original system where they came from. This is mainly meant to be used when you need to maintain your calendar also in other than Orage. Sometimes it is good idea to mark the file as read only, which prevents you from modifying any of the appointments in the corresponding file. (Orage uses some private ical components, which are not necessarily understood by the other system, so updates may cause problems for the other tool.) | ||
