Diary Entry Edit MXEK

This screen provides full edit facilities from which you can maintain and create entries to the Diary - List MXEJ screen.

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.

To create a new diary entry, you must:

Enter the Object to which the diary entry is linked

Enter a description of the diary action

Enter the date on which the entry should be actioned. This field is mandatory and for new diary entries must be greater than today's date

If the diary action is complete, set the Complete flag

If the diary action is complete then the Complete Date defaults to the date this status was achieved. You can override this date

Optionally enter a Diary Code to classifies the diary entry

Optionally enter the contact name of an individual who can be contacted with reference to this diary entry

Optionally enter the contacts' telephone number

Enter the Action User who is to execute the outstanding event. Defaults to Logon User

When an entry is declared as 'Complete' the Delete date will default to the 'Complete Date' plus 14 days. This date can only be amended by switching off the 'Complete' flag
