If a db.schedule table exists with db.schedule.todays_date set to today's date. For example, if I, as a user, wake up today to enter my daily tasks for the current day, it gives a crud.create() form to insert a new db.schedule record. If I log in at lunch to add/modify activities further, it gives a crud.update() form to the same db.schedule record for today's date.
