One of the more powerful features that Bento has to offer when it comes to relationships is the ability to relate your Mac Address Book to iCal or any one of your libraries to your address book and your iCal Calendars. So I'm going to go ahead and work with my address book in iCal and I need to add back in my iCal information back into Bento and want to move my iCal task and advance up close to my address book, just so their right next to one another and I'm going to set up a relationship from my address book to iCal events and iCal tasks so that I can more effectively work with a contact and create events and tasks on the fly for any one of the contacts within my address book. So to do so I click on the Add a Field Button, select Related Records List as we did before and I will just call the first relationship, Calendar Events related to my iCal Events, Create and Continue keeps me within my create a field dialog, allows me to set up another Related Record List and we'll just call this one Tasks related to Tasks. Notice that my iCal Events is now grayed out. Because you can only have one relationship between libraries, so now I'm going to create my second relationship to iCal task and there we have it, we have our two relationships down below here. I'm going to quickly add a New Form so that my existing forms don't get muddied up and I will just simply call this iCal and we'll go ahead and drag out our related events and tasks and let's go ahead and stretch this out to use it more of the Window. Same thing for our iCal Tasks, maybe show more rows and as I move this top events list down vertically it automatically nudges down the task and I can simply add a task and just as easy as that I can go ahead and Add New Events to my particular contact here. We'll say lunch and that's going to go ahead and end an hour later, what calendar I want to use for this. I can create a New Task and just put a due date on it, assign a priority and so on and just to double check to see if those events are there, here's my lunch that I just created for that date, I've got a new task over on my task bar and again if I work with this particular task and say that its completed then when I switch back over to Bento it was completed on that particular day. So that's how you can relate and I'm sure that you can think of many ways in your own work, how you can work with your address book, maybe relating them to any of the custom libraries that you create within Bento, same thing for calendars. There's not enough time to cover all the bases here but this should get your juices flowing and allow you to think about how you can use these in your everyday work.
