Creating Appointments from Tasks

Linked Appointments

Dragging a task into your calendar does not remove it from your task list. Trog inserts a link in the appointment that connects back to the task. This makes it easy to edit notes and update task status from the appointment record.

Changing Days in Trog Bar

You can change the calendar date by pressing right arrow and left arrow when your cursor is in Trog’s calendar.

To schedule tasks into today’s calendar (individual tasks or multiple appointments for multiple tasks):

  1. In Trog Bar, highlight the task(s) you want.
  2. Drag the task over your appointment list in Trog Bar, and wait for the calendar to open.
  3. Drop the task into the calendar near the right time. The appointment size adjusts automatically if you estimated the length of the task.
  4. Rearrange your tasks in the order and times you want. Leave buffer space.

To schedule several tasks into a SINGLE appointment in today’s calendar:

  1. In Trog Bar, highlight the task(s) you want.
  2. Select the correct task list view in Trog Bar.
  3. Select multiple tasks in the list using Ctrl+click or Shift+click,
    OR click the group header bar if the tasks are grouped.
  4. Right-click on the selected tasks.
  5. Select: Copy Title(s) in the pop-up menu.
  6. In the Trog calendar or Outlook calendar, click the start of the appointment time, drag the mouse cursor down to the stop time, right-click, and select New Appointment.
  7. Paste the appointment names into the notes, and give the time block a good name (like Errands).
