The Journal & Zenith Calendar

Zenith Calendar can hand the Journal one occurrence of a commitment, so you can write about it. The Journal opens straight into compose on a new entry, already filled in. Calendar only gives: nothing goes back to it. It is free.

#From Calendar

In Calendar, the hand-over sits in two places:

• on one occurrence of a commitment, "↗ take it elsewhere" › "→ zenith journal";
• the "remind me to journal after" switch, whose notice offers the commitment to the Journal when it ends.

Both show only while a Zenith Journal that takes a commitment is on the phone. Calendar's side is on Share a commitment, What you fill in, material & place and Reminders.

#What the new entry holds

• The title — the commitment's title.
• The day — filed on the day of that occurrence, not the day its pattern started.
• Its mark — Calendar's ◔ (C with "glyphs as letters") wherever entries are shown.
• "the commitment" — a line with the time, the place and who joined: "19:00 · the park · with ana, ben" on a 24-hour phone, "7:00 pm · …" otherwise. Compose keeps it as it is; the reader shows it under its heading.
• "its checklist" — when the commitment has a checklist or form: "✓ warm up · ☐ cool down · how it went: good". These are the answers as they stand when it is sent. A form too big to read has no "its checklist" line at all, never half of one.
• The words — the commitment's notes, yours to edit.
• "where it happened" — the place, with its pin and address when Calendar had them. See The filed day & where it happened.
• Its colour — the commitment's colour.
• Its files — the commitment's pictures and files become the entry's own, on compose's "materials" tab.

#Calendar's extra headers

The time, the place, who joined and the checklist are also kept on the entry by Calendar's own names. Give a journal one of Calendar's extra headers — "calendar · time", "calendar · place", "calendar · who joined", "calendar · its checklist" — and once the entry is filed there, that header shows it. See Extra headers.

#Good to know

• Tapped twice, two entries. Each hand-over makes a new entry; nothing is merged or replaced.
• With the app lock on, the entry is still made, and compose opens under the lock until the phone says it's you.
• If its files didn't come: "its files stayed in calendar — they couldn't be read".
• If it can't be made: "what was sent couldn't be read" or "what calendar sent couldn't be saved".

#Shared with Calendar: the spine

The Journal's entry is Zenith Calendar's journal entry, so the parts every Zenith app shares mean the same in both. See How the Journal fits the suite.
