Welcome to KeyPlan, a handy calendar and appointments manager!

In this section, you'll learn the basics of KeyPlan, the planner and appointments program in KeySoft.

Have you wondered how you can keep up with today's busy schedule? Have you wondered how you can set up alarms, set a particular appointment to occur at a specified date and time, or to cancel an existing appointment? This "tourist attraction" will guide you through the creation, modification, and deletion of appointments.

To start Planner, go to Main menu (SPACE with dots 1 through 6/Menu key on QT), then press P for Planner. Choose Open Planner by pressing O. A new prompt should appear, which says, "Day" with today's date on focus. If you want to choose today, press ENTER (hint, pressing "td" will also select today's date). If you press ENTER, a notepad-type window will be shown, with today's date on top.

Moving around the calendar at the "day" prompt will be discussed in Support Hotline section.
