In order to create a new key, you must firstly have opened a planner. Press the
button. A Planner Key property sheet will appear showing the Details
page.
Specify a description for the planner key and then design the appearance of the new key. By default, the key will be displayed with a blue background, white text and no pattern. You may select the pattern, the pattern colour, the text colour and the background colour. The preview box at the bottom of the dialog box shows you how an associated planner booking will be drawn.
The Diary page lets you associate the key with a specific user or resource. Once a key is associated with a user or resource then you may select the Show through onto associated diary and Blockout associated diary check boxes. For more information on diary show through and blockout, see Showing a Planner in Your Diary and Using a Planner to Block Out Days in your Diary.
Pressing OK on the Planner Key property sheet will create the planner key and add it to the Key Window.
