Diary Entry List MXEJ

This screen lists the diaries in the system.

Event Manager Diary

Diary entries may be created as a reminder to take some future action, or link an event, to a particular date.

Event Handler programs may create Diary Entries as notification that an Event has occurred. The system automatically generates a list of outstanding diary entries when you log-on.

The list of outstanding Diary Actions may be viewed or amended, as appropriate. If a Diary Entry has an associated program, that program can be run by double clicking the diary entry.
