Day View

WP+ has the ability to hide certain appt/todo from view. It only hides items if you tell WP+ to hide them. The most common example is a category that you normally do not want displayed (such as a personal category when you are at work and vice-versa). You might also decide to hide completed ToDo’s. If WP+ finds that there would be one or more todos on the currently displayed date that are not displaying because of your preference settings, it puts a ‘A’ at next the Day panel to alert you to the fact that there are some items on that day that are not being displayed. If you tap the ‘A’, it is changed into ‘H’ and all items normally hidden will be displayed. The ‘A’ does not necessarily mean that there are appts/todos that was hidden. It means that there is possibility of existing hidden appts/todos.

Week View(1 week and 2 week)
