GreatDates 2.0 Overview
GreatDates is a tool for tracking all sorts of annual, monthly, weekly and even daily
events in your life. Use the categories to help organize them. See upcoming events as a list within GreatDates, add them to Date Book or export them to a memo. The menu at the top of most pages within GreatDates has additional
help specific to that page.
Registration ------------- When you purchase GreatDates you will be provided with an unlock key (a 5 digit code). Click "Register" and enter the unlock key. Until you do this,
GreatDates is still fully functional, but limited to creating at most 5 events.
Creating events ----------------- Click on "New" and provide the information. If you need more help with this, click on the
menu at the top of the page. For events such as birthdays, specify the birth date in the Date field and the event info will always show you the correct age to the day. You can set it to be repeating once per year. Set an alarm
if you wish to remind you ahead of time.
Associate an icon with events both for fun and to make them more visually distinct. You can also add new events to GreatDates by importing them from a correctly formatted memo or custom field within Address Book. See the desktop user guide for more detail.
Event Info ----------- Click on an event name within the list on the "Home" tab and the "Event Info" page will show you the event's name, category, next date it will occur, time left till
then, age (time since first occurrence) and the note you've created with it. Click "Edit" to make changes.
Deleting events ----------------- Delete events by going into the "event info" page for
an event and either selecting "Delete Event" from the Menu or by clicking "Edit" and selecting the "Delete" button on the "Edit" page.
Categories ----------- Organize your
events by placing them into relevant categories. Use the category menu to see only events from a single category, “all” categories or a "mixed" set of categories. Select "Edit Mixed" to determine which
categories you want included in the mix. Use "Edit Categories" to create, rename, merge or delete a category, select the default icon to be associated with a category and to determine if a category will display an age
in the event list.
Deleting all events within a category ---------------------------------------------- To delete a category and all of the events within it, select “Edit Categories” on the “Categories” popup.
Then select the category you wish to delete and click “Delete”. Note: This cannot be undone.
Import Tab: ------------
Use this tab to import new events from either a memo or a custom field within Address Book. See the user guide for details.
Export Tab ------------ Use this tab to export one or many events to either Date Book or a memo. You may also use this tab to remove events
from Date Book that were previously exported with GreatDates. Customize how each category exports events into Date Book by using the “Add to Calendar” preferences available from the menu on the Export tab..
Customizing the list display: ---------------------------------- From the Home tab, click on the menu to select the “Display Preferences. This will allow you to customize which columns of information are visible, whether
or not to show events that occurred in the past and event to choose the row color to use.
