Add Appointments

You can add appointment symbols from one of SmartDraw’s many libraries. In SmartPanel, there is a gallery of library symbols which are specific to the visual you're creating.

To add an appointment, click on it in the symbol gallery, then click on the Work Area where you'd like to add it. You'll notice your cursor becomes an anchor shape. This means the appointment will snap onto the calendar at a fixed position, which helps to keep the appointments aligned.

You can change the text in an appointment by double-clicking on it.

Find More Symbols

If you can't find the symbol you want to add, you can open other libraries using the menu just above the gallery. This menu, called the Library Selector, offers a few other library choices, which you can click on to open in the gallery.

If none of the libraries have the symbol you want, click More... in the Library Selector to search SmartDraw's libraries (How?).

Add Multiples of the Same Symbol

To add multiples of the same symbol, hold the Shift key while clicking the symbol in the symbol gallery.

You can then click repeatedly on the Work Area without having to click the symbol in the symbol gallery again. When you're done adding that symbol, press the Esc (or Escape) key.
