Items have multiple properties such as time, location, etc.. Item properties can be set during the process of adding a new item and/or when editing existing items.
When tapping on any item, it opens with a details view. That view provides access both to its properties, and also to several actions you take in regards to the item:
- Remove (events only) - tap the Remove button to remove events from the calendar.
- Archive (tasks and notes only) - archive the item. It will disappear from the screen and will be listed under the Removed Items screen.
- Complete (tasks and notes only) - completes and item on the screen. This is equivalent to swiping on an item.
- Duplicate (events only) - create a duplicate instance of the event with the same parameters. Once tapping on the Duplicate button you can base the new instance on the original event, change any parameter you’d like (such as the date) and then save the new item by tapping on the Duplicate button.
- Main action button - several action button are available on the item in depending on its type and state. Special tasks for example show an action button for Calling, Texting, Emailing etc. See special item types. Events with a location will show a Go button that allows you to navigate to the location of the event.
