Viewing Tasks with Calendar Items

Tasks can be displayed after appointments on each day. Just tap on the Menu and pick Customize View. Tasks can also be quickly converted to appointments in day view by dragging them from the task window to the calendar window. If you select a time range beforehand, the new appointment will occupy that time slot. If you dont, it will be placed close to the current time.

Floating Calendar Appointments

A long time feature from Palm DateBk5 is the oating calendar event. This is where an appointment will oat from day to day. Many people use this for different reasons, but the reason this feature exists is not because it was a useful feature (which it is) but because the Palm task and calendaring system was so weak it had no way to create recurring or regenerating tasks and appointments in a complex way like Windows Mobile can support. With Pocket Informants ability to show tasks within the calendar view in several ways and the tasks ability to either regenerate or recur you can have the power of oating calendar events with full support of Outlook and other applications.
