1.7.2 Calendar view

As suggested at the beginning of this chapter, calendars allow several layout views. Users

can select a view type which they currently find the most useful. In this section, detailed

descriptions of individual view modes are provided.

Day view

The day view is the most detailed one since it focuses the shortest period. The schedule is

divided into 30-minute periods market by a clock symbol on the left. The current interval is

highlighted in yellow color (the first half-hour of the 12th hour in the picture

1.65

).

The single-day view header serves to better reference in the calendar. In the left section, the

current day and date are displayed; in the right section, there is a thumbnail calendar icon

with sliders.

The individual calendar events are ordered in a vertical timeline. Each event is marked by

a colored stripe and it contains the basic information (subject, location, whether it is private

or not and if is has a notification). Whole-day or multiple-day events are displayed in the upper

section of the calendar, before the timed schedule (so that these events do not mess into the

daily schedule).

The events in this type of view can be moved to a different time using the mouse pointer or

extended to cover more hours. To move an event, move the mouse pointer to the left stripe

marked with a different color. After the pointer changes its shape to four arrows, click the

left mouse button and move the event to another time. To extend or reduce the time interval

of an event, move the pointer to the upper or lower area of an event and after the pointer

changes its shape, click the left mouse button and edit the event as necessary.

Focus once again on the left coloured vertical stripe. This area shows the time of the event’s

duration. If the event is shorter than half an hour, the stripe is shorter as well so that users

can recognize the time period taken by the event.

The coloured stripe also shows level of the user’s busyness during the event:

purple stripe — away,

full blue stripe — busy,
