The APPTS object puts the appointments that are in the date and time range directly into the overflow buffer. This feature allows the .PRT file designer to create layouts in which the appointments flow through areas of the page. This is accomplished by printing the overflow buffer using the OVERFLOW object.
This object requires a STYLE property that has the following parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| <style1> | Used for the appointment text. |
| <style2> | Used for the time. |
| <style3> | Used for the header text. |
The OPTIONS property, if present, requires the following parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| LOCATION | NONE | Shows the appointment location. |
| DAY | WEEK | NONE | Inserts page breaks into the overflow buffer after every day or after the end of a week. If the overflow buffer is printed, the page break is used if possible. |
| 0 | 1 | When set to 1, the appointments put in the overflow buffer are for a single day rather than the entire range. A value of 0 specifies the entire range. |
| <integer> | Uses a number greater than zero to force a heading to be put in the overflow buffer before any overflow appointments. The heading text is Other Appointments. The value of this number specifies the thickness of the line preceding the text. If the overflow buffer already contains text, the heading is omitted. This option makes the Daily Dynamic view possible. |
| 0 | 1 | When set to 1, inserts a date header for each day. |
