Adding General Activities Using the Calendar in Siebel Medical Handheld

General activities and appointments must have the Planned Start and Duration fields populated in order to be displayed in the correct time slot on the Daily Calendar view.

To add a general activity in the Calendar view

2. From the Show drop-down list, select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
3. For My Weekly or My Monthly, select the day on which you want to schedule a general activity.
4. Tap the New Record button.

   You may also tap an open time slot within the Daily view.

5. In the new record, complete the necessary fields for the appointment or task.

   Some fields are described in the following table:

   Field	Comments
   Type	The type of activity. Activity types might be call, email-outbound, demonstration, and so on.
   Planned Start	This date-time field defaults to the time selected when you created the new appointment.
   Duration	When the duration is updated, the planned completion time is automatically adjusted.
   Account	Complete this field if the activity is related to a particular account.
   Repeat	Tap the check box to display a check mark if the appointment or task is recurring. The Siebel Handheld application Calendar does not support modification of single instances of recurring activities.
