The Start Date field group:
This field group has the same purpose in all periodicity options.
The Start Date field is designed for setting a date and time of the beginning of an event. The Calculate age option indicates that the program will calculate the age of the selected event or task. An event age is displayed in the Adding/editing a task (or event) dialog box and is calculated in years. Besides, an age can be displayed as a separate column in the list of records of the main window. Calculating age, for example, for birthdates is rather convenient, since the event age here will be equal a man's age.
