3 Using the Address Book and iCal
Libraries
Bento provides libraries that display data from the
Mac
OS X Address Book and iCal applications. With these
libraries, you can manage contacts, events, and tasks
together, and display them as related records in other
libraries in Bento.
Bento contains three libraries that display data from other Mac OS X applications:
1 Address Book library, which displays information from the Address Book application
1 iCal Events library, which displays events from the iCal application
1 iCal Tasks library, which displays to-do items from the iCal application
This chapter describes how to use these libraries to organize information about
contacts, events, and tasks, and how to add information from these libraries to your
own libraries.
Displaying the Address Book and iCal Libraries
Bento starts with an Address Book library, an iCal Events library, and an iCal Tasks
library. Even if the Address Book and iCal applications are not running, you see the
data from these applications in Bento.
Displaying the Address Book and iCal libraries is optional. When you first start using
Bento, these libraries are displayed by default.
If you turn off the display of these libraries in Bento, their records no longer appear in
Bento, but they still appear in the Address Book and iCal applications.
Displaying Data from the Address Book Application
To display the Address Book data in Bento:
1 In Bento, choose File > Address Book and iCal Setup.
2 Select “Display Address Book data in Bento.”
