Managing the calendar on your Windows™ tablet device

Use IBM Traveler to schedule and manage appointments, all-day events, and repeating events.

Your calendar automatically syncs with the IBM Traveler server when changes are made to calendar entries on your device. The calendar also syncs when you open the Calendar application itself. You can manually sync your calendar any time by opening your calendar on the device.
