Using the Daily Journal
You can use the Daily Journal feature to record events as they occur. 
Events are recorded with automatic time-stamping as Date Book Plus 
Notes so they do not clutter your schedule. The Daily Journal is especially 
useful for tracking activities such as sales calls, start and end times for 
consulting or other work, or keeping a record of how you spend your time 
at the office.
To create a Daily Journal entry:
1.
From the Day View, press Menu 
.
2.
Under 
Record
, select 
New Journal Entry (/J)
.
Date Book Plus creates an untimed event, opens a Note for this event, 
and inserts the current time. If you’ve already started a journal for 
the current day, Date Book Plus opens the existing journal and 
inserts a new entry.
3.
Enter a description for the journal entry.
4.
Hold Option 
 and press Return 
 to finish.
Using templates
You can use templates to create a list of standard events. You can then 
select an event from this list and add it to your calendar. Since Date Book 
Plus saves all the event attributes, including alarms and notes, templates 
can really save you time when entering reminder notices or events that 
recur on different days and times. 
To create a template:
1.
Select the event you want to save as a template.
2.
Press Menu 
.
3.
Under 
Record
, select tap 
Create Template (/V)
.
4.
Hold Option 
 and press Return 
 to finish.
To schedule a template event:
1.
Select the date on which you want to schedule the event.
2.
From the Day View, tap the time line that corresponds to the 
beginning of the event.
3.
Tap 
New
 and select 
Template
 from the list.
