Schedule service from an observation
Take an observation and put it on the calendar.
theONE can put an observation on your Apple Calendar and keep the two linked, so the event opens the observation it came from.
ONE IMPORTANT LIMIT: you do this WHEN YOU LOG THE OBSERVATION, not afterwards. The Add to calendar switch is on the Log Observation sheet. An observation already saved has no Schedule action — the drawer does not offer one. If you want an event for something logged earlier, make it in Calendar yourself.
AND A PREREQUISITE: the switch is greyed out until Apple Calendar is connected. Until then the switch stays on the sheet, greyed out, and an 'Open Calendar' row sits beneath it — 'Connect Apple Calendar to enable scheduling.' — which closes the sheet and opens Calendar.
Steps
-
Start a new observation
Log the observation as you normally would. The calendar switch is on that sheet, near the bottom — this is the only place it appears.
-
Switch on Add to calendar
There is no Schedule action and no Create Event sheet. The switch creates a 30-minute Service event dated today, in theONE's own calendar, linked back to the observation. It does not ask you anything.
-
Move it afterwards
Because the event is created at today's date without asking, the real scheduling happens after: open the linked event and change the date, the time, the alert or which calendar it sits in. Nothing in theONE asks you for those up front.
-
Save
Event is added to Apple Calendar. Back in theONE, open the observation: its drawer has a Linked event section with the event's title and date, and a tap opens the event in the calendar editor. The full observations list's Scheduled filter lists it too.
-
If you delete the event
theONE notices, but it does not tidy up by itself. The drawer shows 'Linked event no longer exists' with a 'Clear linked event' button, and until you tap it the observation still counts as Scheduled. The chip does not clear on its own.
If you finish the work and resolve the observation, leaving the event on the calendar is fine — it stands as the record of when it was done.
-
If you delete the observation
Its event comes off the calendar with it. Undo, within 60 minutes, brings back both — the event with its title, date and time. Resolving is different: a resolved observation keeps its event.
