Event Wizard


The Event Wizard provides an easy way to enter certain types of events. The pages in the Event Wizard are customized to include values that normally apply to the type of event you are entering. Many event options are set automatically when using the Event Wizard.

In this version of WinDates, Birthday and Anniversary type events are supported by the Event Wizard. Both types are automatically entered as yearly events with All Day set to true and Show End Date / Time set to false. If the optional original year (birthdate or wedding date) is entered, then the Calculate Age option is automatically set.

The Event Type, Alarm Settings and Upcoming Days settings are all saved each time you use the wizard, so the same settings come up the next time you use the wizard.

To enter an event, first select the type of event and then select the Next button. This shows the Event Name / Date page where you enter the name, date and type of the event. After these have been entered, press the Next button again. This shows the Alarm page which allows you to set the Alarm and the Upcoming Days settings. After entering these values, select the Finish button to save the event.
