Adding appointments
An appointment in Outlook 2013 is an activity you enter for a specific time that, unlike a meeting, doesn’t typically involve other people or resources. When you schedule an appointment, you block out a day, a time, and a location for that appointment to occur. As mentioned earlier, Outlook also lets you set a reminder that flashes on your screen and plays a sound to alert you to the appointment. To learn how to set a reminder, see page 164.
