> What calendar to put the appointment on
> Any additional notes about the appointment
You don’t need to define all of these items.
For example, you might skip defining the loca-
tion of the appointment. In addition, the Calen-
dar automatically uses default settings for every
option except for the event description, location,
and any additional notes you might want to add,
so you can just focus on typing a description of
your appointment, such as “Doctor’s appoint-
ment” or “Secret meeting with Elvis Presley.”

steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Calendar. The
Calendar screen appears.

tion of your appointment.

the date picker at the bottom of the Start
& End window to choose a date and time.

the date picker at the bottom of the Start
