Some applications need to deal with issues that require a calendar – create appointments, register activities, arrange meetings etc. In Aware IM a business object encapsulating the concept of an activity that lasts a certain time is called “Appointment”. In order for Aware IM to be able to show such objects using a calendar the object needs to have certain attributes defined.
You can create a template of an Appointment object by selecting “Business Objects” node in the Elements Tree, bringing up the pop-up menu and selecting “Add Appointment Object” (you can also do it from the main menu). Once you do this Aware IM will automatically create a new definition of an Appointment-type object with the predefined attributes. You can re-name the object and add other attributes to this object, but you cannot change the predefined attributes. Aware IM will also create the Appointments business object group. All Appointment objects will be added to this group. Once an Appointment object has been created you can query on this object and display results using a calendar.
