The MyOffice Today window provides a way group all of your urgent information into one place, making it easier to keep track of your day. The window is divided into three sections.

The Appointments Panel

By default, the appointments panel contains any appointments dated today and located in your default diary. However, it is possible to configure this panel to show appointments from other diaries. For further instructions, see "How to use the Today Window Appointments panel".

The Current Activities Panel

The Current Activities panel displays Contact Activities that have been assigned to you, and which are either due today, are overdue, and are not yet marked as "done". For further instructions on how to manage Contact Activities in the Today window, see "How to use the Contact Activities panel".

The Tasks Panel

The Tasks panel displays Tasks that have been assigned to you, and which are either due today, are overdue, and are not yet set to be 100% complete. For further instructions on how to manage Tasks in the Today window, see "How to use the Tasks panel".

Displaying the Today window on startup

By default, the Today window is shown (in addition to your normal default startup window) when MyOffice starts only if there are items to display in either the Appointments, Contact Activities or Tasks panels. With this default settings, if there's nothing set to appear today, then the window will not be shown when MyOffice starts.

There are three possible settings with regard to showing the Today window on startup. You can either show the Today window whenever you start MyOffice regardless of whether there's anything to display, you can show it only when there are items to display (the default), or you can chose to never show the Today window on startup. To change this setting, open the 'Tools' menu and move your mouse over the "Show on Start-up" menu item. The currently selected option will have a tick next to it. To change the setting, click the setting you require.
